gitstats is a statistics generator for git repositories. It is mostly intended for developers, as a way to check some development statistics for a project.

Currently it produces only HTML output with tables and graphs.

Here is a list of some statistics generated currently:

• General statistics: total files, lines, commits, authors.
• Activity: commits by hour of day, day of week, hour of week, month of year, year and month, and year.
• Authors: list of authors (name, commits (%), first commit date, last commit date, age), author of month, author of year.
• Files: file count by date, extensions
• Lines: Lines of Code by date

• Python (>= 2.4.4) (python3 is not supported)
• Git (>= 1.5.2.4)
• Gnuplot (>= 4.0.0)
• a git repository (bare clone will work as well)

The above versions are not absolute requirements; older versions may work also.

gitstats does not currently need to be installed; it's used right from the directory (it also assumes some files like the stylesheet are in .)

Suppose you have a git project at /mnt/src/git/project and you want to save the statistics to ~/public_html/project

You would run:

$ ./git-stats /mnt/src/git/project ~/public_html/project

or with git-stats executable in your PATH:

$ git stats /mnt/src/git/project ~/public_html/project

(go grab a cup of coffee if it's a large project :)

$ open ~/public_html/project/index.html

1. Add variables to PATH

   • Add python to PATH following link(working with answer from Delicia Brummitt)
   • Add git to PATH following link

2. Unzip GitStats in your favorite git working repo

3. Open a terminal windows+r then write cmd

4. Go in the repo where you unzip GitStats with cd

5. Use command

   $ python git-stats input-file output-file

• Lots of memory and fast disk for large projects
