As of pull #35 merging author information is now handled by .mailmap.

Yet developers use the file for two distinct reasons:

• to correct typos
• redirect people from one email to another - most commonly from corporate to development one.

That leads to companies getting smaller attribution in the "Commits by Domain" section.
Sadly we cannot correct every project to use .mailmap 'correctly', yet we want to give credit where it's due.

I would like to address that and the quickest way is to revert the above PR.
Any objections, alternative suggestions how to address the issue?

Original title: Error while running gitstats with opensuse kernel

I've cloned the following repository

git://gitorious.org/opensuse/kernel.git

While running ./gitstats /path/to/git/repo /output/folder I face this error

FYI
a) I repeated the process more than 3 times and the error still appears.
b) With other repositories I had no issue or any error while running ./gitstats.

I would like to add support for excluding one or more authors, the main use case I have for this is that the "Jenkins" user comes up as the top author in the statistics because it is the author of all the merge commits.

I've installed Python 2.7.
I've installed gnuplot.
I have git.

I've added python path, gunplot path and the folder where gitstats sit into the system path.

running "python gitstats git_repo_path out_path" chucks a couple of lines, and then runs into an endless loop of missing and failed imports.

here's a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/QHwpgU0.png

any suggestions ?

Surprisingly, It works when I change the date to 4 month ago. I have no idea why it the error is occurring. Is it something related to different commits in repository?

Hi,

I was unable to use gitstats on Windows (unless I run it through cygwin).

It complains that wc command is unrecognized, which is expected as it's not present on Windows:

One of the lines which uses wc is:

        self.total_authors += int(getpipeoutput(['git shortlog -s %s' % getlogrange(), 'wc -l']))

When I tried running gitstats through cygwin, everything worked, but I don't see it listed as requirement anywhere, so I'd assume it should be running on Windows without it as well.

Commits after a user changes his/her nickname are treated by commits by another user.

'wc' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Would be nice to get the raw output as XML so it can be easily aggregated into a database.

In the common workflow, we mostly need stats for actual implementation commits, i.e we don't want to include merge commits in the git reports.

Can we add a param to exclude merge commits from git statistics --no-merges

I'd suggest plots using the "with steps" style rather than "with lines", so that large jumps e.g. in lines of code that come after a long no-commit period show up as a vertical jump following a horizontal line, rather than a diagonal line.

It's now possible to "yum install gitstats" on Fedora 17 and later and EL6 distributions that have the EPEL repository enabled [1]. Wondering if we can get a shoutout to this on the web site:

http://gitstats.sourceforge.net/

Thanks,

Steve

Hello,

It’d be great if you could tag a stable release so we can use the GitHub-generated tarball instead of relying on the git HEAD commit.

Thanks!

I think commit 780c0fd (start_date command line option) introduced a bug that broke commit_begin command line option.

def getlogrange(defaultrange = 'HEAD', end_only = True):
    commit_range = getcommitrange(defaultrange, end_only)
    if len(conf['start_date']) > 0:
        return '--since=%s %s' % (conf['start_date'], commit_range)
    return commit_range

The way how getlogrange is implemented and called in other parts means commit_begin has no effect.
I propose the following fix:

1. Make start_date and commit_begin command line options mutually exclusive - only one of them can be defined. Error will be raised if both options are present.
2. Modify getxxxrange so that all combinations of start_date, commit_begin and end_only are handled correctly.

Hello

I'm currently writing my master thesis and use gitstats to track progress on my writing.
I'm missing two metrics to do so a little bit better.

a) Commits per day.
Showing a graph of the last 30 (maybe 90) days with the number of commits.

b) Word count
As I make notes, the document gets many lines, but as I reduce the codes to text, the number of lines reduces, so the graph isn't really helpful anymore. What I would need is the growing number of words.

Thanks for the nice project :)

Hi,

I wrote a git dynamic repository visualization (see examples at: https://github.com/joe42/git_treemap).
I would like to integrate git treemap with gitstats. If you are interested, I will write a suitable pull request.
Momentarily, git treemap produces an html file with a dynamic treemap relying on the InfoViz JavaScript Toolkit. To this end, the git repository statistics are efficiently extracted with GitPython and inserted as JSON data into an html template with the help of Python's Template module.
Please let me know if you are interested to integrate git treemap.

Thanks for writing and maintaining gitstats,
joe

in Collect revision statistics

lines = getpipeoutput(['git rev-list --pretty=format:"%%at %%ai %%aN <%%aE>" %s' % getlogrange('HEAD'), 'grep -a -v ^commit']).split('\n')
<<
grep breaks the PIPI with: Binary file (standard input) matches.
Adding -a to grep solves the issue.

Folloing instructions from http://gitstats.sourceforge.net/, I tried to install gitstats with command

brew install --HEAD homebrew/head-only/gitstats

But got this error:

Error: homebrew/head-only was deprecated. This tap is now empty and all its contents were either deleted or migrated.

gnupolt not found problem, though had configured gnuplot environment variable（means I can get gnuplot version when type in 'gnuplot --version'）,

So I solved this by delete the three lines, and It worked

if not getgnuplotversion():

print 'gnuplot not found'

sys.exit(1)

Hi All,

I need statistics for commits,lines in all branches in specific repository.
I saw FAQ in man gitstats , but it seems not work, it still generate the report for only the main branch.

gitstats -c commit_end='web' -c start_date='2017/1/1' cosmos-main-html5 gitstats

Can anybody help on this ?

FAQ
Q: How do I generate statistics of a non-master branch?

   A: Use "-c commit_end=web" parameter.

regards,
Jonas

On ubuntu 12.04, when I use the command : gitstats ../wsb/code/sud-ouest-france ~/gitstat

the processing starts, then :

I get this error :

Perhaps it would help to either check on startup (a) if the local directory is the "source" directory, and/or (b) if the resources that gitstats will to deploy already exist? On big Git repositories, this would save the user from re-starting the whole process.

Readme needs documentation on how to actually use it

It's been brought to my attention that Fedora 31 will be going Python3 only:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/F31_Mass_Python_2_Package_Removal
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1737997

As it stands this will result in the removal of gitstats from the Fedora repositories, though I am investigating how to avoid this (by e.g. carrying patches to make it python3 compatible).

I thought I'd ask however if there was any plan with regards to supporting python3 for gitstats, as while Fedora is likely pushing the curve here other distributions may follow suit in future? As far as I can tell this last came up back in 2015 as distros started defaulting /usr/bin/python to python3:

#52
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1583357

Any chance you could create a 'release' or tag with the current stable version?
The 'homebrew' project uses these to help with installation.

There's been a couple open requests for this over time, and it would behelpful to the users at large.

Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#25447
Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#14418

Thanks!

http://gitstats.sourceforge.net/

repository is hosted on both GitHub and Gitorious.

-> Gitorious is closed, the link is dead.

Currently, if someone commits a large configuration file or some third-party code, it distorts the stats as well as the associated graphs. Is there a way to blacklist certain files or paths?

Lines of Code (with names removed)

Thanks,

P.S. I work in robotics, so large configuration files are not uncommon (e.g. a list of GPS way-points for a testing area)

It looks like there are a large number of PRs unanswered. Is there a fork we should be using instead?

Hello there,

just if anybody tried to run gitstats with OS X El Capitan, for me these steps worked:

• Clone gitstats repository
• Get homebrew, if you not already have
• Install gnuplot via homebrew brew install gnuplot
• Symlink your python 2.7 installation to "python2"
  sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/local/bin/python2
• make install in repository root (xcode and developer tools are required)

I try to run gitstats with Python 2.7.1 installed, however it says:
env: python2: No such file or directory

Any plans into migrating the code over to Py3?

Hi,
Thanks for gitstats.
I use git for the sources of a website dedicated to teaching. Years begin in september and end in august.
How easy it would be to add a conf option to set a starting month that would make Gistats report years as 2013-2014? Could you give some pointers?
