Format strings instead of values in git.log

git.log has formating strings in result

  ],
  latest: {
    hash: 'd4a703f32ab09f15836d4e2fcde57a5ae3ac7b68',
    date: '%aI',
    message: 'init',
    refs: '%D',
    body: '',
    author_name: 'name',
    author_email: 'name@company'
  },
  total: 1
}

Works find locally (macos) but is incorrect when deployed on an alpine linux instance

Awesome - thanks heaps - will try and get an updated image created, but in the meantime thanks for the quick fix!

The version of git you are using doesn’t support %D as a token in the format string (it was added in 2.2.3).

If you aren’t able to update your git installation, you can work around this by passing in a format object to the git.log call:

const log = await git.log({
  file: path.join(cwd, 'docs/file.md')
  format: {
    hash: '%H',
    date: '%ai',
    message: '%s',
    refs: '%d',
    body: '%b',
    author_name: '%aN',
    author_email: '%aE',
  }
});
