Here is my problem: I want to create a git log file staying outside the repository folder and save it as TestfromShell.txt.

I have git command

git -C /var/git/plexus.git log > Test.txt

for linux machine. I want to execute this command from Java, but every time I execute this command from Java, it says:

Command to be executed :git -C /var/git/plexus.git log > Test.txt
Error:
fatal: ambiguous argument '>': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'

Java code:

command="git -C /var/git/plexus.git log > Test.txt"; 
p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);

Running the command in Java doesn't interpret things the same as in your shell. `>` is interpreted as that symbol, not a redirection. – Andy Turner Apr 21 '16 at 15:38
how could I possibly log all the data into Test.txt from java ?? – Nibesh Manandhar Apr 21 '16 at 15:45
Yes. It's in the answers of the duplicate question. – Andy Turner Apr 21 '16 at 15:45
