script for making release comments based on commit history

[zeffii]

the following script is based on the existing show commits operator in Sverchok.

import os
import urllib
import urllib.request
import sverchok
from sverchok.utils import sv_requests as requests

COMMITS_LINK = 'https://api.github.com/repos/nortikin/sverchok/commits'

def report(comment, message):
    print(message)
    #for line in comment:
    #    print('    ' + line)

def get_commits(num_links=5):
    r = requests.get(COMMITS_LINK)
    json_obj = r.json()

    print("author | commit details")
    print("--- | ---")

    for i in range(num_links):
        commit = json_obj[i]['commit']
        comment = commit['message'].split('\n')

        sha = os.path.basename(json_obj[i]['commit']['url'])[:7]
        author = commit['author']['name']
        # user = commit['committer']['name']
        comment = comment[0] + '...' if len(comment) else ''

        report(comment, f'{author} | {comment} sha: {sha}')
    
    # print(json_obj)


get_commits(num_links=30)

it produces the following readout.

it can be tweaked, but I think i'll use it like this for new interim releases. ( seen as a lot of people seem to prefer downloading and installing the releases, instead of the master zip )

[nortikin]

is it placed on some utils?
i'll prefare to replace show latest commits script with that

[zeffii]

yeah, OK, i'll change the existing "Show latest commits" to do two things

• generate a printout using python: print() <-- easy for copying
• generate a self.report({'INFO'}.... ) <-- easy for reading for passing interest of users.
