Transform git output into a JSON File

Question

I using:

 git log --all --pretty=format:'%n{%n%d%n  "commit hash": "%H",%n  "author":     
    "%an",%n  "author_email": "%ae",%n  "date": "%ad",%n  "message": "%f"%n}'

to get the log of all the commits with the differents branches of a github repository, what I need is to transform the output into a .json file to can use as variable in a javascript code.

Where is this git log command executed ? in a server side's javascript? — D. Seah, Jul 16 '18 at 00:18
If I run in the bash of git I get a output similar to a json file so what I want is transform that output in a actual .json file — Simpson G., Jul 16 '18 at 00:21

IMO, it is more of a bash command question

git log --all --pretty=format:'%n{%n%d%n  "commit hash": "%H",%n  "author": "%an",%n  "author_email": "%ae",%n  "date": "%ad",%n  "message": "%f"%n}'| grep -v "origin" | tr -d '\n' | sed 's/}{/}, {/g' | sed -e 's/^/[/' |sed -e 's/$/]/' > gitlog.json

Note that if the author name or email address contain double quotes, this will malfunction. It's up to whoever uses this to decide how much to trust those fields. – torek Jul 16 '18 at 04:16
