Description

Howdy! A while ago, I needed git logs in json for something--I forget what exactly--and ended up using jc (https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc). It's kinda like a bunch of "format this popular tool's output into json" snippets mashed together. You might find it helpful.

I'm not a shill :) I contributed a bug fix (for that git log thing, actually!) but haven't checked in it since.

Anyway, love your stuff!
