How can I know the total number of commits done on a project through the GitHub web interface? How can I get the total number of commits in a specific time frame?
What I can get now is the number of commits done by each developer, not the total one.
Example: https://github.com/BVLC/caffe
As your tags and question line don't limit this to just the GitHub interface, you can get what you want from the command line:
$ git rev-list --count master --since=5.months
577
$ git rev-list --count master --since=4.months
524
As well as --since it supports --until to specify a full range.

To get to the compare view, append /compare to your repository's path. Every repository's Compare view contains two drop down menus: base and compare
To compare the commits in timeframe you can do type the branch name in the compare dropdown, followed by a @, and then the date wrapped between a { } notation.
Here are two examples:

Commits Done Using GitHub Web Interface:
Commits are commits whether you do it from the git interface or web interface. I guess there is no way to identify it.
Commits done by each developer:
It is clearly mentioned in the link you provided:
You can get total number of commits through a time period with two different ways
Using since and before - since take the start date and before take the end date that you want to get commit from it.
git rev-list --count HEAD --since="Dec 1 2021" --before="Jan 3 2022"
Get the total commit by using [second - hour - day - week - month - year]
Get the total commits by second
git rev-list --count HEAD --since=600.second
Get the total commits by minute
git rev-list --count HEAD --since=30.minute
Get the total commits by day
git rev-list --count HEAD --since=28.day
Get the total commits by week
git rev-list --count HEAD --since=4.week
Get the total commits by month
git rev-list --count HEAD --since=1.month
Get the total commits by year
git rev-list --count HEAD --since=2.year
Go to https://github.com/USER_NAME/REPOSITORY. In you case, you have to go to https://github.com/BVLC/caffe.
After visiting the above mentioned page, you can see the total number of commits. Refer the picture below:
