I am trying to get list of commits between the last Tag and the Tag before it
Answers that I see here ( and that I currently use ) are like this:
git log --pretty=oneline TagA...TagB
But this forces me to know the tag numbers that are not available at this part of the build process
thus sometimes this command fails, stopping the build process
Build machine is a Windows machine, I have seen unix related answers
Any way to achieve that ?
Get the last tag in the current branch:
lasttag=`git describe --tags --abbrev=0`
Get the previous tag before the last:
prev_tag=`git describe --tags --abbrev=0 $lasttag~`
See the log:
git log $prev_tag..$lasttag
What I ended up doing on windows after looking on the first answer:
it describe --tags --abbrev=0 > tmpFile
set /P lasttag= < tmpFile
del tmpFile
git describe --tags --abbrev=0 %lasttag%~ > tmpFile2
set /P prev_tag= < tmpFile2
del tmpFile2
git log %prev_tag%...%lasttag% >ReleaseNotes.txt
