NAME

       latex-git-log - Generates the version history of a git project as LaTeX source code.

SYNOPSIS

       latex-git-log [options]

       Options:

         --author          set this if you want the author included
         --startcommit     set the start value of count commit
         --width           set the width in cm of the commit message field in the LaTeX table
         --git-c-add       set an base URL to link to a commit
         --user            set a github user to derive the base URL
         --repo            set a github repository to derive the base URL
         --lang            language of the legend and all strings in the output
         --version, -v     print version of this script
         --help            brief help message
         --man             full documentation

OPTIONS

       --width Set the width in cm of the commit message field in the LaTeX table. If this
               parameter is not set then the table is not vertically limited. That means that if
               you have a very long commit message then the table will probably not fit on the
               page and you will get a "Overfull" error message from TeX.

               In this case you should specify the width of the column containing the commit
               messages.  I normally use something like --width=14 for DIN A4 in landscape.

       --git-c-add
               Set an base URL to link to a commit.  This script will automatically try to use
               the base URL for github.

       --lang  Set the language of the legend and all strings in the output. Be default the
               language of your system is used but you can overwrite this with this parameter.

               Currently this script only supports English and German. If you need a translation
               to another language then you can either create a .po file or I can register this
               project on one of those websites for online translation.

Example

       You can use it like this:

           latex-git-log --width=6 --lang=en > example-output.tex

DEPENDENCIES

   Of this script
       This module requires these other modules and libraries:

           IPC::System::Simple
           Locale::Maketext::Simple

       Everything else should already be installed.

   To compile the output
       The table is using the longtable package and the links to a web resource for each commit
       use the \href macro from hyperref. So these two packages have to be loaded.

       Furthermore you need to defined the macro \longtableendfoot which will be expanded on the
       bottom of every page if the table will be continued on the next page. You can defined it
       to a localized message to inform the reader that this table is not complete and will be
       continued.

DESCRIPTION

       This program will output the entire version history as table written in LaTeX if it is
       executed within a git repository.

       It is intended that you redirect the standard output of this script to a file which can
       then be included from your main TeX document.

       Because the table can be very large you might want to put the thing on a landscape page.
