git-quick-stats
is a simple and efficient way to access various statistics in a git repository.Any git repository may contain tons of information about commits, contributors, and files. Extracting this information is not always trivial, mostly because there are a gadzillion options to a gadzillion git commands – I don’t think there is a single person alive who knows them all. Probably not even Linus Torvalds himself :).
- Interactive
- Non-interactive
- Command-line arguments
- Git log since and until
- Git log limit
- Git log options
- Git pathspec
- Git merge view strategy
- Color themes
git-quick-stats has a built-in interactive menu that can be executed as such:
git-quick-stats
Or
git quick-stats
For those who prefer to utilize command-line options, git-quick-stats
also has a non-interactive mode supporting both short and long options:
git-quick-stats <optional-command-to-execute-directly>
Or
git quick-stats <optional-command-to-execute-directly>
Possible arguments in short and long form:
-r, --suggest-reviewers
show the best people to contact to review code
-T, --detailed-git-stats
give a detailed list of git stats
-R, --git-stats-by-branch
see detailed list of git stats by branch
-d, --commits-per-day
displays a list of commits per day
-m, --commits-by-month
displays a list of commits per month
-w, --commits-by-weekday
displays a list of commits per weekday
-o, --commits-by-hour
displays a list of commits per hour
-A, --commits-by-author-by-hour
displays a list of commits per hour by author
-a, --commits-per-author
displays a list of commits per author
-S, --my-daily-stats
see your current daily stats
-C, --contributors
see a list of everyone who contributed to the repo
-b, --branch-tree
show an ASCII graph of the git repo branch history
-D, --branches-by-date
show branches by date
-c, --changelogs
see changelogs
-L, --changelogs-by-author
see changelogs by author
-j, --json-output
save git log as a JSON formatted file to a specified area
-h, -?, --help
display this help text in the terminal
You can set the variables _GIT_SINCE
and/or _GIT_UNTIL
before running git-quick-stats
to limit the git log. These work similar to git's built-in --since
and --until
log options.
export _GIT_SINCE="2017-01-20"
export _GIT_UNTIL="2017-01-22"
Once set, run git quick-stats
as normal. Note that this affects all stats that parse the git log history until unset.
You can set variable _GIT_LIMIT
for limited output. It will affect the "changelogs" and "branch tree" options.
export _GIT_LIMIT=20
You can set _GIT_LOG_OPTIONS for git log options:
export _GIT_LOG_OPTIONS="--ignore-all-space --ignore-blank-lines"
You can exclude a directory from the stats by using pathspec
export _GIT_PATHSPEC=':!directory'
You can also exclude files from the stats. Note that it works with any alphanumeric, glob, or regex that git respects.
export _GIT_PATHSPEC=':!package-lock.json'
You can set the variable _GIT_MERGE_VIEW
to enable merge commits to be part of the stats by setting _GIT_MERGE_VIEW
to enable
. You can also choose to only show merge commits by setting _GIT_MERGE_VIEW
to exclusive
. Default is to not show merge commits. These work similar to git's built-in --merges
and --no-merges
log options.
export _GIT_MERGE_VIEW="enable"
export _GIT_MERGE_VIEW="exclusive"
You can change to the legacy color scheme by toggling the variable _MENU_THEME
between default
and legacy
export _MENU_THEME=legacy
If you are on at least Debian Bullseye or Ubuntu Focal you can use apt for installation:
apt install git-quick-stats
git clone https://github.com/arzzen/git-quick-stats.git && cd git-quick-stats
sudo make install
For uninstalling, open up the cloned directory and run
sudo make uninstall
For update/reinstall
sudo make reinstall
brew install git-quick-stats
Or you can follow the UNIX and Linux instructions if you wish.
If you are installing with Cygwin, use these scripts:
If you are wishing to use this with WSL, follow the UNIX and Linux instructions.
You can use the Docker image provided:
- Build:
docker build -t arzzen/git-quick-stats .
- Run interactive menu:
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/git arzzen/git-quick-stats
- Docker pull command:
docker pull arzzen/git-quick-stats
docker repository
- An OS with a Bash shell
- Tools we use: awk ; basename ; cat ; column ; echo ; git ; grep ; head ; seq ; sort ; tput ; tr ; uniq ; wc
bsdmainutils
apt install bsdmainutils
Q: I get some errors after run git-quick-stats in cygwin like /usr/local/bin/git-quick-stats: line 2: $'\r': command not found
A: You can run the dos2unix app in cygwin as follows: /bin/dos2unix.exe /usr/local/bin/git-quick-stats
. This will convert the script from the CR-LF convention that Microsoft uses to the LF convention that UNIX, OS X, and Linux use. You should then should be able to run it as normal.
Q: How they could be used in a project with many git projects and statistics would show a summary of all git projects?
A: If you want to include submodule logs, you can try using the following: export _GIT_LOG_OPTIONS="-p --submodule=log"
(more info about git log --submodule)
Want to contribute? Great! First, read this page.
All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review.
We use GitHub pull requests for this purpose.
- Use our code
When in doubt, try to stay true to the existing code of the project. - Write a descriptive commit message. What problem are you solving and what are the consequences? Where and what did you test? Some good tips: here and here.
- If your PR consists of multiple commits which are successive improvements /
fixes to your first commit, consider squashing them into a single commit
(
git rebase -i
) such that your PR is a single commit on top of the current HEAD. This make reviewing the code so much easier, and our history more readable.
