Git-Contributor

git-contributor is a commandline tool which is supposed to be installed as a dotnet global tool.

You can find out more about dotnet global and locals tools here.

Getting Started

1. Install git-contributor as a dotnet global tool:

dotnet tool install -g GitContributors

2. In a git repository, execute:

git contributor

And you should get an output similar to:

Name    Email   Committed       Authored
MartinK mdk@lostindetails.com   1       0
8       mdk@lostindetails.com   3       0
GitHub  noreply@github.com      0       4
mdk     mdk@lostindetails.com   12      12

Examples

• Execute git-contributor

  git-contributor
  

  to display a list of all contributors whose commits are reachable over HEAD.

• Or display a table of the contributors, e.g. by executing:

  git-contributors --table -sa
  

  To display the contributors inside a table.

• Or display a barchart of the contributors, e.g. by executing:

  git-contributors --barchart
  

  

• Or Export as CSV

  git-contributor -o test.csv
  

  

• Filter by branch / tag / commit hash

  git-contributor -r master
  

  

• Filter by range

  git-contributor -r revision..master
  

  

• Use git submodule support (no '-' between git and contributor)

  git contributor
  

• Display Usage info

  git-contributor -h
  

Why install as a dotnet global tool?

• Dotnet tools when installed globally, are added to your PATH variable automatically, which makes them available over the commandline everywhere.

• When you execute git foobar git will look for an executable called git-foobar in your path and execute it with the remaining arguments forwarded. You can read more about git subcommands here.
