Generating statistics from Git repository

Question

I'm looking for some good tools/scripts that allow me to generate a few statistics from a git repository. I've seen this feature on some code hosting sites, and they contained information like...

• commits per author
• commits per day/week/year/etc.
• lines of code over time
• graphs
• ... much more

Basically I just want to get an idea how much my project grows over time, which developer commits most code and so on.

Thanks!

Answer 1

A quick google search lead me to: http://gitstats.sourceforge.net/

Have you tried this project? I'm sure there are similar projects.

Answer 2

Beside mentioned by xyld GitStats (git history statistics generator), written in Python and requiring Gnuplot for graphs, there is also

• gitstat (SourceForge) project (web-based git statistics interface), written in PHP and Perl,
• Git Statistics, aka gitstats (metrics framework designed to gather statistics on git repositories), written in Python, result of git-statistics project at Google Summer of Code 2008; this is not a web app

Answer 3

commits per author

git shortlog -s -n
