| 1 | """muse code symbol-log -- track a single semantic symbol through commit history. |
| 2 | |
| 3 | This command is impossible in Git: Git's ``git log -p src/utils.py`` shows |
| 4 | every line that changed in a file; it has no concept of a *function*. |
| 5 | ``muse code symbol-log`` tracks the full lifecycle of a single named symbol -- |
| 6 | when it was created, when its implementation changed, when it was renamed, |
| 7 | and when it was deleted -- across the entire commit DAG, including all |
| 8 | branches that were ever merged in. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | Usage:: |
| 11 | |
| 12 | muse code symbol-log "src/utils.py::calculate_total" |
| 13 | muse code symbol-log "src/models.py::User.save" |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Output:: |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Symbol: src/utils.py::calculate_total |
| 18 | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 19 | |
| 20 | * a3f2c9 2026-03-14 "Refactor: extract validation logic" |
| 21 | created function calculate_total |
| 22 | |
| 23 | * cb4afa 2026-03-15 "Perf: optimise total calculation" |
| 24 | modified implementation changed |
| 25 | |
| 26 | * 1d2e3f 2026-03-16 "Rename: calculate_total -> compute_total" |
| 27 | renamed calculate_total -> compute_total |
| 28 | (tracking continues as src/utils.py::compute_total) |
| 29 | |
| 30 | * 4a5b6c 2026-03-17 "Move: refactor to helpers module" |
| 31 | moved src/utils.py::compute_total -> src/helpers.py::compute_total |
| 32 | (tracking continues at src/helpers.py::compute_total) |
| 33 | |
| 34 | 4 events (created: 1 modified: 1 renamed: 1 moved: 1) |
| 35 | |
| 36 | Flags:: |
| 37 | |
| 38 | --from <ref> |
| 39 | Start walking from this commit instead of HEAD. |
| 40 | Accepts a full or abbreviated commit SHA or a branch name. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | --max <n> |
| 43 | Cap the number of commits inspected (default: 500). |
| 44 | When the cap is reached a warning is shown; increase it with |
| 45 | --max to see the full history. |
| 46 | |
| 47 | --json |
