Git - Is there a way to view the number of lines committed by Author?

Question

Does anyone know of a command or script that will output each author that has committed to the project followed by the number of lines they have contributed.

e.g. something similar to the following:

Author       Insertions   Deletions
Bob Dole     1240         409
Sarah J      481          140
Jim Helper   388          23

Cheers, Ben

This can probably be accomplished with a simple awk/sed script over the output of `git-blame`. http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-blame.html — Mark Rushakoff, Apr 28 '10 at 16:26

This gives the line statistics for a particular author:

git log --author="_Your_Name_Here_" --pretty=tformat: --numstat \
| gawk '{ add += $1 ; subs += $2 ; loc += $1 - $2 } END { printf "added lines: %s removed lines : %s total lines: %s\n",add,subs,loc }' -

Can you extend your answer to output stats for all authors? – mrgloom Oct 13 '17 at 10:59

@mrgloom, this should work: `while read i; do git log --author="$i" --pretty=tformat: --numstat | { printf "$i: "; gawk ' { add += $1 ; subs += $2 ; loc += $1 - $2 } END { printf "added lines: %s removed lines : %s total lines: %s\n",add,subs,loc }' -; }; done < <(git shortlog -sne | sed 's/[^<]*<$[^>]*$>/\1/' | sort -u)` – Fabio A.

A quick search dug up GitStats, though that only generates HTML output.

Update: A bit more digging turned up LookAtGit, which seems more along the lines of what you were looking for.

Second Update: As mentioned on a comment to the original question, this can also be accomplished with git in conjunction with sed/awk. There's a nice example of how to do this right here on SO.

But it is open source, so you could make it generate any output format you want... – Dave DeLong Apr 28 '10 at 16:24

True, though I'm assuming he wouldn't be asking for a pre-existing script if he had the time to whip one up himself. – Damien Wilson Apr 28 '10 at 16:27

I was about to mention this in my answer as well, you beat me to the punch. – Damien Wilson Apr 28 '10 at 16:38

That doesn't tell the number of line! – Nicolas Buduroi Mar 07 '11 at 20:06

That's cool information, too, but prints the number of commits by author, not number of lines. – Dan Croak Apr 16 '12 at 23:57

This is answering a completely different question. I'm not sure why it was voted up, but look at the other answers. – Skeets Oct 18 '17 at 00:13
