gitstats: git history statistics generator
NAME
gitstats - git history statistics generator
SYNOPSIS
gitstats [options] <repository dir> <output dir>DESCRIPTION
gitstats is a statistics generator for git(1) repositories. It examines the repository and produces some interesting statistics from the history of it. Currently HTML is the only output format.OPTIONS
-c option=valueOverride a default configuration value. Defaults can be seen by running gitstats without parameters.
Values:
- authors_top
- How many top authors to show.
- commit_begin, commit_end
- Specify a commit range to generate statistics from. You can specify only commit_end limit statistics to a certain commit or another branch.
- linear_linestats
-
When enabled, the lines of code statistics are collected from linear history.
The downside is that commits of long feature branches appear only at the point
where a merge commit is made.
If disabled (old behaviour), the problem is that if two branches contain the same changes (for example, removal of same lines), the statistics get skewed.
Defaults to on.
- max_authors
- How many authors to show in the list of authors.
- max_domains
- How many domains to show in domains by commits.
- max_ext_length
- Maximum file extension length.
- project_name
- Project name to show on the generated pages. Default is to use basename of the repository directory.
- style
- CSS stylesheet to use.
FAQ
Q: How do I generate statistics of a non-master branch?A: Use "-c commit_end=web" parameter.
Q: I have files in my git repository that I would like to exclude from the statistics, how do I do that?
A: At the moment the only way is to use git-filter-branch(1) to create a temporary repository and generate the statistics from that.
EXAMPLES
- Generates statistics from a git repository in "foo" and outputs the result in a directory "foo_stats":
-
gitstats foo foo_stats
- As above, but only analyzes the last 10 commits:
-
gitstats -c commit_begin='HEAD~10' foo foo_stats
