Git log output to XML, JSON, or YAML?

by

to output to a file:

git log > filename.log

To specify a format, like you want everything on one line

git log --pretty=oneline >filename.log

or you want it a format to be emailed via a program like sendmail

git log --pretty=email |email-sending-script.sh

to generate JSON, YAML or XML it looks like you need to do something like:

git log --pretty=format:"%h%x09%an%x09%ad%x09%s"

This gist (not mine) perfectly formats output in JSON:
