(see more tables here)

You can do:

• select hash, author, message from commits limit 3
• select hash, message from commits where 'hell' in full_message or 'Fuck' in full_message
• select hash, message, author_email from commits where author = 'cloudson'
• select date, message from commits where date < '2014-04-10'
• select message from commits where 'hell' in message order by date asc

gitql -h or open an issue

Notes:

• Gitql doesn't want kill git log 😅 . It was created just for science!!
• It's read-only. Nothing about delete, insert or update commits 😝
• The limit default is 10 rows
• It's inspired by textql
• But, why gitql is a compiler/interpreter instead of just read a sqlite database with all commits, tags and etc? Answer: Because we would need to sync the tables everytime before run sql and we would have sqlite bases for each repository. 😐
