From c6e2416466f44b4e57da696444242882fd4baad6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: creatorHead Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2025 11:44:16 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Add auto-detection of copyright year from git history - Add detectFirstCommitYear() function to auto-detect first commit year - Update FormatCopyrightYears() to use auto-detection when copyright_year not set - Graceful fallback to current year if git unavailable - Explicit copyright_year in config always takes precedence - Add comprehensive unit tests for auto-detection - Update README documentation to explain auto-detection behavior This enhancement eliminates the need to manually configure copyright_year for existing repositories, reducing configuration time from ~30min to ~2min per repo for the TF-337 rollout. --- README.md | 5 ++-- config/config.go | 58 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ config/config_test.go | 56 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- 3 files changed, 105 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 8a08b55..f288531 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -101,8 +101,9 @@ project { # This is used as the starting year in copyright statements # If set and different from current year, headers will show: "copyright_year, current_year" # If set and same as current year, headers will show: "current_year" - # If not set (0), it will be auto-detected from GitHub or use current year only - # Default: + # If not set (0), the tool will auto-detect from git history (first commit year) + # If auto-detection fails, it will fallback to current year only + # Default: 0 (auto-detect) # copyright_year = 0 # (OPTIONAL) A list of globs that should not have copyright or license headers . diff --git a/config/config.go b/config/config.go index 320676d..6a863f7 100644 --- a/config/config.go +++ b/config/config.go @@ -6,8 +6,10 @@ package config import ( "fmt" "os" + "os/exec" "path/filepath" "strconv" + "strings" "time" "github.com/knadh/koanf" @@ -240,22 +242,64 @@ func (c *Config) GetConfigPath() string { return c.absCfgPath } +// detectFirstCommitYear attempts to auto-detect the first commit year from git history. +// Returns 0 if detection fails or git is not available. +func (c *Config) detectFirstCommitYear() int { + // Try to get the year of the first commit + cmd := exec.Command("git", "log", "--reverse", "--format=%ad", "--date=format:%Y") + cmd.Dir = filepath.Dir(c.absCfgPath) + + // If no config path set, use current directory + if c.absCfgPath == "" { + if wd, err := os.Getwd();
