This is a script to replay a CHANGELOG.json file, commit by commit, useful for inspecting the git repo growth as a result of the commits.
- Replace the sample beachball CHANGELOG.json file in the data directory with a big one.
- Run
npx ts-node ./playChangeLog.ts
You may modify the cwd variable to produce output in a different directory. Note that the script does clean the target directory when run. You may also consider modifying the for loop at the bottom to produce less commits.
This data is taken from a changelog which has over 3500 entries.
File size is from ls -hs. Directory size is taken from du -hs.
