# GitQL
GQL is a query language with a syntax very similar to SQL with a tiny engine to perform queries on `.git` files instance of database files, the engine executes the query on the fly without the need to create database files or convert `.git` files into any other format, note that all Keywords in GQL are case-insensitive similar to SQL.

## Examples

```sql
SELECT 1
SELECT 1 + 2
SELECT LEN("Git Query Language")
SELECT "One" IN ("One", "Two", "Three")
SELECT "Git Query Language" LIKE "%Query%"
SELECT INTERVAL '1 year 2 mons 3 days 04:05:06.789'

SET @arr = [1, 2, 3];
SELECT [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]];
SELECT @arr[1], @arr[2], @arr[3], ARRAY_LENGTH(@arr);
SELECT @arr[1:2], @arr[2:], @arr[:2];

SELECT DISTINCT title AS tt FROM commits
SELECT author_name, COUNT(author_name) AS commit_num FROM commits GROUP BY author_name, author_email ORDER BY commit_num DESC LIMIT 10
SELECT commit_count FROM branches WHERE commit_count BETWEEN 0 AND 10

SELECT * FROM refs WHERE type = "branch"
SELECT * FROM refs ORDER BY type

SELECT * FROM commits
SELECT author_name, author_email FROM commits
SELECT author_name, author_email FROM commits ORDER BY author_name DESC, author_email ASC
SELECT author_name, author_email FROM commits WHERE author_email LIKE "%gmail%" ORDER BY author_name
SELECT * FROM commits WHERE LOWER(author_name) = "amrdeveloper"
SELECT author_name FROM commits GROUP By author_name
SELECT author_name FROM commits GROUP By author_name HAVING author_name = "AmrDeveloper"

SELECT * FROM branches
SELECT * FROM branches WHERE is_head = true
SELECT name, LEN(name) FROM branches

SELECT * FROM tags
SELECT * FROM tags OFFSET 1 LIMIT 1

SELECT path, count() AS changes_count, SUM(insertions) AS additions, SUM(removals) AS removes FROM diffs_changes GROUP BY path ORDER BY changes_count DESC
