How to get the latest commit only by path?

[cbl315]

Description

Hi guys, I want to get the latest commit of specific path and it should be equal to below command:

git log -n 1 --pretty=format:%H -- path/to/folderOrFile

I try to get the log by g.Log as showed in this example:

https://github.com/go-git/go-git/blob/da810275bf682d29a530ed819aff175f47bd7634/_examples/log/main.go#L18-L47

But now it seems LogOptions don't support -n argument.

Any idea about it?

Thx

Could we add -n arguments in ListOptions?

You can get just one commit with:

commit, err := cIter.Next()
cIter.Close()

You can get just one commit with:

commit, err := cIter.Next()
cIter.Close()

FYI what I want actually is that the cIter just store the latest commit like -n 1 do.

The ability to find the latest commit of a specific file is impacted by https://github.com/go-git/go-git/issues/811 on projects with sizeable commit history.
