    What sort of information/statistics are you looking for? – Andrew Marshall Sep 06 '12 at 11:27
  • like who has created, when has been created. Since it is on remote machine and i don't have access to that machine. right now. Does git command can provide this information? – twid Sep 06 '12 at 11:30

However, you can also use git log to look for specific commits.

git log --stat show different stat of changes introduced at each commit

for more details you can refer Git Reference

for a status:

git status

to get a history of commits issued to the git repo:

git log

ps: make sure you clone a project to your local computer (since it's a project that exists on a remote machine)

  • I am repeating my self, what i said in last comment: like who has created, when has been created. Since it is on remote machine and i don't have access to that machine. right now. Does git command can provide this information? – twid Sep 06 '12 at 11:33
  • for finding the initalizer of the project, find out who the first one to commit a file to the project. you can figure this out usign github's network graph. – Taher Sep 06 '12 at 11:33

Creation of the project is the first commit, and it has author and date attached to it. To display use: 

$ cd project1.git
$ git log --reverse --pretty=medium | head -3
commit 3fdc617258b295f3fc1cdd6d6d7f9d98bd294513
Author: John Doe <john@microsoft.com>
Date:   Thu Sep 6 11:34:35 2012 +0200

This assumes the git history has only one root (see How to show first commit by 'git log'? for discussion about it)

  • yes that right, But still we can't say who has run `git init` or `git --bare init` means who has initiated git repository – twid Sep 06 '12 at 16:33
  • You have to look at who created the folder, only the file system or the OS can give you the info – CharlesB Sep 06 '12 at 17:01

Why not just look at the project's first commit? That's usually indicative of who created the repo and when:

git log --reverse

will show commits in reverse, so the root commit will be first.
