Subject: Conditional newline in pretty format
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2020 10:28:27 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAHd499DiCi3FJb9qWJNBNKyVQg_zYMgJRuYcH_pOP3LnGwk5Tg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I have the following alias:
```
[alias]
release-notes = log --no-merges --pretty=format:'* %s%n%n%w(100,2,2)%b'
```
With a branch `topic` checked out, I run it like so:
$ git release-notes origin..
This gives me the "release notes" on my branch. The goal is to have it
formatted as a bullet-point list in markdown format so I can just copy
& paste this output into Github, Bitbucket, or other sites and have it
already set up for render correctly.
It works perfectly right now except for the case where `%b` is empty.
In that case, I just want one newline after `%s` instead of 2. Is
there a way to make my second `%n` conditional on `%b` having a value?
