I'd be curious to see your calendar with all your commits. Ping me on Twitter ([**@IonicaBizau**](https://twitter.com/IonicaBizau)). :smile: Until then, here's my calendar:

<% if (_.pack.blah.ex_img) { %>
![<%- _.pack.name %>](<%-_.pack.blah.ex_img %>)
<% } %>

<% // INSTALLATION %>
## Installation

You can install the package globally and use it as command line tool:

```sh
# Install the package globally
npm i -g <%- _.pack.name %>
# Initialize git hooks
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IonicaBizau/git-stats/master/scripts/init-git-post-commit | bash
```

Then, run `<%- _.pack.name %> --help` and see what the cli tool can do.


```sh
$ git-stats --help
git-stats --help
A GitHub-like contributions calendar, but locally, with all your git commits.

usage: git-stats [start] [end] [options] [data]

start:                    Optional start date
end:                      Optional end date

options:
  -v                      Displays version information.
  -h --help               Displays this help.
  --no-ansi               Doesn't use ANSI colors in the squares.
  --record <data>         Records a new commit. Don't use this unless you are
                          a mad scientist. If you are a developer, just use this
                          option as part of the module.
  --light                 Enable the light theme.

examples:
   git-stats # Displays your commit calendar
   git-stats -v
   git-stats -h
   git-stats --light # Light mode
   git-stats '1 January 2012' # All the commits from 1 January 2012, to now
   git-stats '1 January 2012' '31 December 2012' # All the commits from 2012

Your commit history is kept in the .git-stats, in your $HOME directory (~/)

Documentation can be found at https://github.com/IonicaBizau/git-stats
```

If you run `git-stats` to display graph on Windows, please use a terminal that can properly display ANSI colors.
Cygwin Terminal is known to work, while Windows Command Prompt and Git Bash do not.

### Importing and deleting commits
I know it's not nice to start your git commit calendar from scratch. That's why I
created a `git-stats-importer` that imports or deletes the commits from a repository.

Check it out here: https://github.com/IonicaBizau/git-stats-importer

The usage is simple:

```sh
# Install the importer tool
$ npm install -g git-stats-importer

# Go to the repository you want to import
$ cd path/to/my-repository

# Import the commits
$ git-stats-importer

# ...or delete them if that's a dummy repository
$ git-stats-importer --delete
```

### Importing all the commits from GitHub and BitBucket
Yes, you read correctly! That's also possible. I [built a tool for that too](https://github.com/IonicaBizau/repository-downloader)!

```sh
# Download the repository downloader
$ git clone https://github.com/IonicaBizau/repository-downloader.git

# Go to repository downloader
$ cd repository-downloader

# Install the dependencies
$ npm install

# Start downloading and importing
$ ./start
```
### See the GitHub Contributions calendar
There is a solution for that, too! :smile: It's called [`ghcal`](https://github.com/IonicaBizau/ghcal).

```sh
# Install ghcal
$ npm install -g ghcal

# Checkout my contributions
$ ghcal ionicabizau
```
For more detailed documentation, check out the repository: https://github.com/IonicaBizau/ghcal.
