Issue
I use this command to get a list of all the files that has changed in a pull-request.
git diff --name-only HEAD master
Sample output:
my/repo/file1.java
my/repo/file3.java
my/repo/file5.java
I would like to convert this output to the following:
file:my/repo/file1.java||file:my/repo/file3.java||file:my/repo/file5.java
so that I can run code analysis only on these files from IntelliJ IDEA.
What have I tried so far?
git diff --name-only HEAD master | sed -e 's/^/file:/' | paste -s -d "||" -
This gives me the following output:
file:my/repo/file1.java|file:my/repo/file3.java|file:my/repo/file5.java
Notice the single |.
Also, please simplify the command if possible.
Edit: None of the files will have a whitespace or a newline in the name.
Solution
You can also do it with awk
git diff --name-only HEAD master |
awk 'NR > 1 {printf("||")} {printf("file:%s",$0)} END{print ""}'
What this awk does is:
- for all input lines but the first, output:
|| - for all input lines, output:
file:+<input line content> - when there’s no more input lines to read, output a newline character
remark: the END{print ""} is unrequited when you do out=$(git .. | awk ...)
