> `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](https://github.com/torvalds) himself :).

### Git log since and until



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.



```bash

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.



### Git log limit



You can set variable `_GIT_LIMIT` for limited output. It will affect the "changelogs" and "branch tree" options. The default limit is `10`.



```bash

export _GIT_LIMIT=20

```



### Git log options



You can set `_GIT_LOG_OPTIONS` for [git log options](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-log#_options):



```bash

export _GIT_LOG_OPTIONS="--ignore-all-space --ignore-blank-lines"

```



### Git pathspec



You can exclude a directory from the stats by using [pathspec](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitglossary#gitglossary-aiddefpathspecapathspec)



```bash

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.



```bash

export _GIT_PATHSPEC=':!package-lock.json'

```



### Git merge view strategy



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.



```bash

export _GIT_MERGE_VIEW="enable"

export _GIT_MERGE_VIEW="exclusive"

```



### Git branch



You can set the variable `_GIT_BRANCH` to set the branch of the stats. Works with commands `--git-stats-by-branch` and `--csv-output-by-branch`.



```bash

export _GIT_BRANCH="master"

```



### Color themes



You can change to the legacy color scheme by toggling the variable `_MENU_THEME` between `default` and `legacy`



```bash

export _MENU_THEME="legacy"

```

## Installation



### Debian and Ubuntu



If you are on at least Debian Bullseye or Ubuntu Focal you can use apt for installation:



```bash

apt install git-quick-stats

```



### UNIX and Linux



```bash

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



```bash

sudo make uninstall

```



For update/reinstall



```bash

sudo make reinstall

```



### macOS (homebrew)



macOS requires GNU coreutils to be installed and for the non "g" aliased

versions to be exported to your path. The following is an example of how to

perform this if you are using Homebrew as your package manager.



```bash

brew install coreutils

export PATH="$HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"

```



From there, you can install via Homebrew as follows:



```bash

brew install git-quick-stats

```



Or you can follow the UNIX and Linux instructions if you wish.



If you would like to default to using the GNU coreutils (recommended), then you

can add `export PATH="$HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"` to

your applicable `~/.bash_profile`, `~/.zprofile`, or other relevant profile

based on the shell of your choice.



### Windows



If you are installing with Cygwin, use these scripts:



* [installer](https://gist.github.com/arzzen/35e09866dfdadf2108b2420045739245)

* [uninstaller](https://gist.github.com/arzzen/21c660014d0663b6c5710014714779d6)



If you are wishing to use this with WSL, follow the UNIX and Linux instructions.



### Docker



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](https://hub.docker.com/r/arzzen/git-quick-stats)

## FAQ



*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](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-log#Documentation/git-log.txt---submoduleltformatgt))



## Contribution



Want to contribute? Great! First, read this page.



### Code reviews



All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review.

We use GitHub pull requests for this purpose.



### Some tips for good pull requests



* 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](http://robots.thoughtbot.com/5-useful-tips-for-a-better-commit-message)

  and [here](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SubmittingPatches).

* 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.



### Formatting



This documentation is written using standard [markdown syntax](https://help.github.com/articles/markdown-basics/). Please submit your changes using the same syntax.
