$ git-stats

A GitHub-like contributions calendar, but locally, with all your git commits.

I'd be curious to see your calendar with all your commits. Ping me on Twitter (@IonicaBizau). 😄 Until then, here's my calendar:

Installation

$ npm install -g git-stats

Catching the git commit command

Would you like to catch and automatically store the commits when you do git commit? If so, try one of the following solutions.

Using git hooks

The way I recommend to track your git commits is to use git hooks. Run the following command to initialize the post-commit git hook.

# Using curl
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IonicaBizau/git-stats/master/scripts/init-git-post-commit | bash

# ...or wget
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IonicaBizau/git-stats/master/scripts/init-git-post-commit | bash

Then, you have to run git init into your existing git repositories from your local machine (that's because the post-commit should be updated). This step will not be needed after cloning a repository (the git hooks will be added automatically from ~/.git-templates).

Overriding the git command

One of the solutions is becoming a mad scientist, overriding the git command with a function. However, this may not work for you if you're using zsh.

Add the following lines in your ~/.bashrc (or ~/.bash_profile on OS X) file:

# Override the Git command
git() {
  cmd=$1
  shift
  extra=""

  quoted_args=""
  whitespace="[[:space:]]"
  for i in "$@"
  do
      quoted_args="$quoted_args \"$i\""
  done

  cmdToRun="`which git` "$cmd" $quoted_args"
  cmdToRun=`echo $cmdToRun | sed -e 's/^ *//' -e 's/ *$//'`
  bash -c "$cmdToRun"
  if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    # Commit stats
    if [ "$cmd" == "commit" ]; then
      commit_hash=`git rev-parse HEAD`
      repo_url=`git config --get remote.origin.url`
      commit_date=`git log -1 --format=%cd`
      commit_data="\"{ \"date\": \"$commit_date\", \"url\": \"$repo_url\", \"hash\": \"$commit_hash\" }\""
      git-stats --record "$commit_data"
    fi
  fi
}

Usage

$ 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 override the git command with a function, then your commits will be automatically recorded.

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:

# 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!

# 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! 😄 It's called ghcal.

# Install ghcal
$ npm install -g ghcal

# Checkout my contributions
$ ghcal ionicabizau
