Count total lines written by a specific user throughout all its projects in Github

Question

I'm wondering if there's a way in Github to count the total amount of lines of code a specific user has written throughout all of its projects.

git log --author="<author>" --oneline --shortstat would list the amount of code for a given repo, but I'm wondering if there is a way to list all the code a user has ever pushed to Github.

You could use the API, get all repo contributed to, and get the lines written for each repo (which is how I tried to do it) but that seems overcomplicated... — Anubian Noob, Mar 31 '14 at 23:09

I've written a basic program that will do this: http://stats.kaufer.org/

The source of it is on Github here: https://github.com/mjkaufer/stats

Basically, I ended up using Github's API.

It seems to be down sadly. – marknuzz Nov 23 '15 at 22:12
No, it just takes some time to boot, because it's kind of hosted on a public-esque server – mjkaufer Nov 24 '15 at 02:18
If someone wants to fork this to a non-meteor, purely client side app, that'd be great because meteor is killing its free hosting soon... – mjkaufer Mar 13 '16 at 14:16
