Git number of commits per author on all branches

Question

I'd like to get the number of commits per author on all branches. I see that

git shortlog -s -n

Prints a very nice list but it is not counting the commits that are not yet merged from other branches. If iterate this command over every branch then obviously the common commits get counted multiple times. Could you give me a script/command that would yield me the overall picture?

Any way to include users who did not make commits? Show them as 0? — niken, Oct 16 '17 at 15:08
The problem is every programmer in the universe excluding the actual committers are potentially users with zero commit in your repo. So the list would be too long. — jabal, Dec 07 '17 at 20:26

git shortlog --summary --numbered --all --no-merges

Will give you statistics for all branches.

EDIT: Added --no-merges to exclude statistics from merge commits.

If anyone also need emails then you can use `-e` command like this: `git shortlog -s -n -e --all` – Jaex Aug 08 '16 at 17:49

if you need a time period, specify `--since="22 Aug 2017"` – mBardos Aug 30 '17 at 10:54

@mBardos `--since="22 Aug 2017" --before="01 Sept 2017"` to get period – angularrocks.com Aug 31 '17 at 01:04

Can this be filtered specific to any branch? – Milind Anantwar Feb 05 '18 at 15:29
If you get 0 results with --since="22 Aug 2017" you can try with --since="2017-08-22". – beegotsy Nov 23 '22 at 10:43
