hw4 submission - GitMap #1784

Closed mchen046 closed 9 years ago

mchen046 commented 9 years ago

I apologize in advance, there are some rogue commits that appeared earlier in the quarter. What is the best course of action to remove the commit messages in this case?

Again, this is for I, @mchen046, @ttruo018, and @ykamo001.

We should talk about this in person. Can you all make my office hours tomorrow?

ykamo001 commented 9 years ago

I live in the By Area, so I won't be in Riverside until June 22 for summer session, sorry. Won't be able to come in for office hours.

mchen046 commented 9 years ago

I'm currently living 50 miles away from riverside, but if it's absolutely necessary I'll make the drive over there tomorrow.

@ttruo018 says he'll be able to make it to your office hours tomorrow.

You did not do what you proposed in #1519. In particular, you said you would create a map of the repo using latex, and the output would be an image. This would be very useful. For example, I could automate the creation of all the repo images used in the textbook folder.

But if I understand your writeup, then all you're doing is printing the information from git log but visualized on the terminal in a slightly different way. I don't see what the contribution is because I can get the exact same effect with a one line git command. The --pretty parameter lets me specify in detail how I want each commit to be displayed, and I could use this parameter instead of your bash script to format the output the way you have.

Is the above correct?

mchen046 commented 9 years ago

Correct. We abandoned our original idea of using LaTeX. While we were writing the shell script, we extracted information using git branch and git log. From there, we decided to create dynamic box shapes using a mix of ascii characters and labeled the most recent commit of each branch. At the time, we were not aware of the --pretty parameter.

If you would like us to generate the .tex file that can then be converted into a pdf, we will write it as soon as possible.

As-is, I'm struggling to find ways to give you any points. If you can come up with a specific plan on how you will fix the project and how long it will take, I'll consider entering grade delays for you and upgrading your grade when you complete the project. The final project would have to be amazing and will suffer a significant penalty for being late.
