I have a single git commit and would need to get the total number of insertions and deletions.
I know "git show <SHA>" is showing about details of my commit but I am not sure how to get total number of changes only from a particular commit.
git diff --stat <SHA1> <SHA2> also does't work because I should use only a single commit.
Kindly share me if you have any information.
You should still be able to use git diff --stat:
git diff --stat <SHA>~ <SHA>
# or, for a global total only:
git diff --shortstat <SHA>~ <SHA>
The ~ refers to the direct parent of <SHA>. You are only using one <SHA>: the commit <SHA>, and its direct parent <SHA>~.
For example:
C:\Users\vonc\prog\git\git>git diff --stat e646ab9cf83025e1000db6ec3c1716f978b099f2~ e646ab9cf83025e1000db6ec3c1716f978b099f2
po/TEAMS | 8 +-
po/ca.po | 3949 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------------------
po/de.po | 3776 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-----------------------
po/fr.po | 3746 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-----------------------
po/git.pot | 3547 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------------
po/sv.po | 3723 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-----------------------
po/vi.po | 3762 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-----------------------
po/zh_CN.po | 4217 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------------------
8 files changed, 15007 insertions(+), 11721 deletions(-)
For just the total:
C:\Users\vonc\prog\git\git>git diff --shortstat e646ab9cf83025e1000db6ec3c1716f978b099f2~ e646ab9cf83025e1000db6ec3c1716f978b099f2
8 files changed, 15007 insertions(+), 11721 deletions(-)
git show --stat $commitish is a thing. Not sure how you missed it since you saw the other ones.
Here's a short script which you can enter in terminal:-
git config --global alias.total '!echo $(git log --author="$(git
config user.name)" --no-merges --before=$(date "+%Y-%m-%dT00:00") --reverse | grep commit | wc -l) commits, $(git log --author="$(
git config user.name)" --no-merges --before=$(date "+%Y-%m-%dT00:00") --reverse --stat | grep -Eo "[0-9]{1,} files? changed" | grep
-Eo "[0-9]{1,}" | awk "{ sum += \$1 } END { print sum }") files changed, $(git log --author="$(git config user.name)" --no-merges -
-before=$(date "+%Y-%m-%dT00:00") --reverse --stat | grep -Eo "[0-9]{1,} insertions?" | grep -Eo "[0-9]{1,}" | awk "{ sum += \$1 }
END { print sum }") insertions and $(git log --author="$(git config user.name)" --no-merges --before=$(date "+%Y-%m-01T00:00") --re
verse --stat | grep -Eo "[0-9]{1,} deletions?" | grep -Eo "[0-9]{1,}" | awk "{ sum += \$1 } END { print sum }") deletions'
And use it like this:-
git total
