Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to add instructions for the sh files and the python version. This is still very much a WIP so I'm not going to look into docker just yet.

For the highlighting, currently only a single email pattern input is supported. Type in your pattern into the box at the bottom, then click submit. The pattern gets fed into a LIKE statement in SQLite, so just plaintext, with % representing a wildcard eg torvalds% would highlight files modified by an email starting with torvalds.

Looks great! Thanks for your work on this.

I had the same minor install issue, specifically needed to do the following:

  >chmod +x git-log-format.sh generate-db.sh
  >python -m venv .venv
  >source .venv/bin/activate
  >pip install flask

I'm not sure the colouring is working as expected; I tried submitting with many email addresses I know are in the repo it ran over (with/out the wildcard) and the highlighting behaviour was difficult to predict.

Do you mind sharing what specifically the colouring is doing, and what you expect it to be doing?

i'm not sure why it needs sh to begin with.

At a glance the sh script can be trivially replaced by native python. And it would make it work cross-platform (i.e. on Windows).
