> `git-quick-stats` is a simple and efficient way to access various statistics in a git repository.
>
> Any git repository may contain tons of information about commits, contributors, and files. Extracting this information is not always trivial, mostly because there are a gadzillion options to a gadzillion git commands - I don't think there is a single person alive who knows them all. Probably not even [Linus Torvalds](https://github.com/torvalds) himself :).

### Git log since and until

You can set the variables `_GIT_SINCE` and/or `_GIT_UNTIL` before running `git-quick-stats` to limit the git log. These work similar to git's built-in `--since` and `--until` log options.

```bash
export _GIT_SINCE="2017-01-20"
export _GIT_UNTIL="2017-01-22"
```

Once set, run `git quick-stats` as normal. Note that this affects all stats that parse the git log history until unset.

### Git log limit

You can set variable `_GIT_LIMIT` for limited output. It will affect the "changelogs" and "branch tree" options. The default limit is `10`.

```bash
export _GIT_LIMIT=20
```

### Git tag

You can set `_GIT_TAG` to define the default tag used by the "new contributors since tag" option.

```bash
export _GIT_TAG="foo"
```

### Git log options

You can set `_GIT_LOG_OPTIONS` for [git log options](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-log#_options):

```bash
export _GIT_LOG_OPTIONS="--ignore-all-space --ignore-blank-lines"
```

### Git pathspec

You can exclude a directory from the stats by using [pathspec](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitglossary#gitglossary-aiddefpathspecapathspec)

```bash
export _GIT_PATHSPEC=':!directory'
```

You can also exclude files from the stats. Note that it works with any alphanumeric, glob, or regex that git respects.

```bash
export _GIT_PATHSPEC=':!package-lock.json'
```

### Git merge view strategy

You can set the variable `_GIT_MERGE_VIEW` to enable merge commits to be part of the stats by setting `_GIT_MERGE_VIEW` to `enable`. You can also choose to only show merge commits by setting `_GIT_MERGE_VIEW` to `exclusive`. Default is to not show merge commits. These work similar to git's built-in `--merges` and `--no-merges` log options.

```bash
export _GIT_MERGE_VIEW="enable"
export _GIT_MERGE_VIEW="exclusive"
```

### Git branch

You can set the variable `_GIT_BRANCH` to set the branch of the stats. Works with commands `--git-stats-by-branch` and `--csv-output-by-branch`.

```bash
export _GIT_BRANCH="master"
```

### Ignore authors

You can set the variable `_GIT_IGNORE_AUTHORS` to filter out specific authors. It will affect the "All contributors", ""Suggested code reviewers" and "New contributors" options.

```bash
export _GIT_IGNORE_AUTHORS="(author@examle.com|username)"
```

### Sorting contribution stats

You can sort contribution stats by field `name`, `commits`, `insertions`, `deletions`, or `lines` (total lines changed) and order (`asc`, `desc`). e.g.: `commits-desc`

```bash
export _GIT_SORT_BY="name-asc"
```

### Commit days

You can set \_GIT_DAYS to set the number of days for the heatmap

```bash
export _GIT_DAYS=30
```

### Color themes

You can change to the legacy color scheme by toggling the variable `_MENU_THEME` between `default` and `legacy`.
You can completely disable the color theme by setting the `_MENU_THEME` variable to `none`.

```bash
export _MENU_THEME="legacy"
# or
export _MENU_THEME="none"
```

## Installation

### Debian and Ubuntu

If you are on at least Debian Bullseye or Ubuntu Focal you can use apt for installation:

```bash
apt install git-quick-stats
```

### UNIX and Linux

```bash
git clone https://github.com/git-quick-stats/git-quick-stats.git && cd git-quick-stats
sudo make install
```

For uninstalling, open up the cloned directory and run

```bash
sudo make uninstall
```

For update/reinstall

```bash
sudo make reinstall
```

### macOS (homebrew)

`git-quick-stats` requires GNU `date`. On macOS, install GNU coreutils:

```bash
brew install coreutils
export PATH="$HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"
```

The script auto-detects GNU date as either `date` or `gdate`, so exporting
`gnubin` is optional for this project.

From there, you can install via Homebrew as follows:

```bash
brew install git-quick-stats
```

Or you can follow the UNIX and Linux instructions if you wish.

If you would like to default to using GNU coreutils system-wide, add
`export PATH="$HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"` to your
applicable `~/.bash_profile`, `~/.zprofile`, or other relevant profile based
on the shell of your choice.

### FreeBSD

`git-quick-stats` requires GNU `date`. On FreeBSD, install GNU coreutils:

```bash
pkg install coreutils
```

FreeBSD provides GNU date as `gdate`, and the script auto-detects it.

### Windows

If you are installing with Cygwin, use these scripts:

- [installer](https://gist.github.com/arzzen/35e09866dfdadf2108b2420045739245)
- [uninstaller](https://gist.github.com/arzzen/21c660014d0663b6c5710014714779d6)

If you are wishing to use this with WSL, follow the UNIX and Linux instructions.

### Docker

You can use the Docker image provided:

- Build: `docker build -t arzzen/git-quick-stats .`
- Run interactive menu: `docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/git arzzen/git-quick-stats`
- Docker pull command: `docker pull arzzen/git-quick-stats` [docker repository](https://hub.docker.com/r/arzzen/git-quick-stats)

## System requirements

- An OS with a Bash shell
- GNU `date` available as either `date` or `gdate`
- Tools we use:

```bash
awk
basename
cat
column
date
echo
git
grep

## FAQ

_Q:_ I get some errors after run git-quick-stats in cygwin like `/usr/local/bin/git-quick-stats: line 2: $'\r': command not found`

_A:_ You can run the dos2unix app in cygwin as follows: `/bin/dos2unix.exe /usr/local/bin/git-quick-stats`. This will convert the script from the CR-LF convention that Microsoft uses to the LF convention that UNIX, OS X, and Linux use. You should then should be able to run it as normal.

_Q:_ How they could be used in a project with many git projects and statistics would show a summary of all git projects?

_A:_ If you want to include submodule logs, you can try using the following: `export _GIT_LOG_OPTIONS="-p --submodule=log"`
(more info about [git log --submodule](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-log#Documentation/git-log.txt---submoduleltformatgt))

## Contribution

Want to contribute? Great! First, read this page.

### Code reviews

All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review.</br>
We use GitHub pull requests for this purpose.

### Some tips for good pull requests

- Use our code </br>
  When in doubt, try to stay true to the existing code of the project.
- Write a descriptive commit message. What problem are you solving and what
  are the consequences? Where and what did you test? Some good tips:
  [here](http://robots.thoughtbot.com/5-useful-tips-for-a-better-commit-message)
  and [here](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SubmittingPatches).
- If your PR consists of multiple commits which are successive improvements /
  fixes to your first commit, consider squashing them into a single commit
  (`git rebase -i`) such that your PR is a single commit on top of the current
  HEAD. This make reviewing the code so much easier, and our history more
  readable.

### Formatting

This documentation is written using standard [markdown syntax](https://help.github.com/articles/markdown-basics/). Please submit your changes using the same syntax.
