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.
- Python (>= 2.4.4)
- 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 :) $ sensible-browser ~/public_html/project/index.html
- Lots of memory and fast disk for large projects
