GitQL - Git Query Language

GitQL is a tool that built using the GitQL SDk to perform SQL like query on your local .git files

GitQL SDK is an in memory query engine implemented from scratch as a set of libraries that allow you to perform high customization in types, schema, data provider, operators and functions, so you can build your own tool to run SQL like query on any kind of data.

Samples

Note that all Keywords in GitQL are case-insensitive, similar to SQL.

SELECT 1
SELECT 1 + 2
SELECT LEN("Git Query Language")
SELECT "One" IN ("One", "Two", "Three")
SELECT "Git Query Language" LIKE "%Query%"
SELECT INTERVAL '1 year 2 mons 3 days 04:05:06.789'
SELECT INTERVAL '1 millennium 2 centuries 1 decade ago'

SET @arr = [1, 2, 3];
SELECT [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]];
SELECT @arr[1], @arr[2], @arr[3], ARRAY_LENGTH(@arr);
SELECT @arr[1:2], @arr[2:], @arr[:2];

SELECT DISTINCT title AS tt FROM commits
SELECT author_name, COUNT(author_name) AS commit_num FROM commits GROUP BY author_name, author_email ORDER BY commit_num DESC LIMIT 10
SELECT commit_count FROM branches WHERE commit_count BETWEEN 0 AND 10

SELECT * FROM refs WHERE type = "branch"
SELECT * FROM refs ORDER BY type

SELECT * FROM commits
SELECT author_name, author_email FROM commits
SELECT author_name, author_email FROM commits ORDER BY author_name DESC, author_email ASC
SELECT author_name, author_email FROM commits WHERE author_email LIKE "%gmail%" ORDER BY author_name
SELECT * FROM commits WHERE LOWER(author_name) = "AmrDeveloper"
SELECT author_name FROM commits GROUP By author_name
SELECT author_name FROM commits GROUP By author_name HAVING author_name = "AmrDeveloper"

SELECT * FROM branches
SELECT * FROM branches WHERE is_head = true
SELECT name, LEN(name) FROM branches

SELECT * FROM tags
SELECT * FROM tags OFFSET 1 LIMIT 1

SELECT path, count() AS changes_count, SUM(insertions) AS additions, SUM(removals) AS removes FROM diffs_changes GROUP BY path ORDER BY changes_count DESC
