how to exec.Command() long string / multiple commands

[RoboTamer]

how do I execute following with exec.Command()

git ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD  | while read filename; do echo "$(git log -1 --format="%at" -- $filename) $filename"; done

I tried thinks like:

exec.Command("git ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD  | while read filename; do echo \"$(git log -1 --format=\"%at\" -- $filename) $filename\"; done")

exec.Command("git", "ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD  | while read filename; do echo \"$(git log -1 --format=\"%at\" -- $filename) $filename\"; done")

And more splitting but it doesn't seam to work

exec.Command doesn't do any splitting of strings into individual
command-line arguments. You would need to call strings.Split()
yourself. However, the pipe is going to be a problem as exec.Command
doesn't spawn a shell. You might have better luck with:

exec.Command("bash", "-c", `git ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD | while

read filename; do echo "$(git log
-1 --format="%at" -- $filename) $filename"; done`)

(Didn't test that, uses raw strings instead of escaped quotes)
