$ git-stats

Local git statistics including GitHub-like contributions calendars.

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

• How to contribute

Installation

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

# Install the package globally
npm i -g git-stats
# Initialize git hooks
# This is for tracking the new commits
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IonicaBizau/git-stats/master/scripts/init-git-post-commit | bash

Then, run git-stats --help and see what the cli tool can do.

$ git-stats -h
Usage: git-stats [options]

Options:
  -s, --since <date>     Optional start date.
  -u, --until <date>     Optional end date.
  -n, --no-ansi          Forces the tool not to use ANSI styles.
  -l, --light            Enables the light theme.
  -a, --authors          Shows a pie chart with the author related
                         contributions in the current repository.
  -g, --global-activity  Shows global activity calendar in the current
                         repository.
  -d, --data <path>      Sets a custom data store file.
  -f, --first-day <day>  Sets the first day of the week.
  --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.
  -r, --raw              Outputs a dump of the raw JSON data.
  -h, --help             Displays this help.
  -v, --version          Displays version information.

Examples:
  git-stats # Default behavior (stats in the last year)
  git-stats -l # Light mode
  git-stats -s '1 January 2012' # All the commits from 1 January 2012 to now
  git-stats -s '1 January 2012' -u '31 December 2012' # All the commits from 2012

Your commit history is kept in ~/.git-stats by default. You can create ~/.git-stats-config.js to specify different defaults.

Usage

Importing and deleting commits

I know it's not nice to start your git commit calendar from scratch. That's why I created git-stats-importer–a tool which imports or deletes the commits from selected repositories.

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, that's also possible. I built a tool which downloads and then imports all the commits you have pushed to GitHub and BitBucket!

# 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

What about the GitHub Contributions calendar?

If you want to visualize the calendars that appear on GitHub profiles, you can do that using ghcal.

# Install ghcal
$ npm install -g ghcal

# Check out @alysonla's contributions
$ ghcal -u alysonla

For more detailed documentation, check out the repository: https://github.com/IonicaBizau/ghcal.

If want to get even more GitHub stats in your terminal, you may want to try github-stats--this is like git-stats but with data taken from GitHub.

Using the configuration file

You can tweak the git-stats behavior using a configuration file in your home directory: ~/.git-stats-config.js.

This file should export an object, like below (defaults are listed):

module.exports = {
    // "DARK", "LIGHT" or an object interpreted by IonicaBizau/node-git-stats-colors
    "theme": "DARK"

    // The file where the commit hashes will be stored
  , "path": "~/.git-stats"

    // First day of the week
  , first_day: "Sun"

    // This defaults to *one year ago*
    // It can be any parsable date
  , since: undefined

    // This defaults to *now*
    // It can be any parsable date
  , until: undefined

    // Don't show authors by default
    // If true, this will enable the authors pie
  , authors: false

    // No global activity by default
    // If true, this will enable the global activity calendar in the current project
  , global_activity: false
};

Since it's a js file, you can require any other modules there.

Cross-platform compatibility

git-stats is working fine in terminal emulators supporting ANSI styles. It should work fine on Linux and OS X.

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. Improvements are more than welcome! 💫

Example

Here is an example how to use this package as library.

// Dependencies
var GitStats = require("git-stats");

// Create the GitStats instance
var g1 = new GitStats();

// Display the ansi calendar
g1.ansiCalendar({
    theme: "DARK"
}, function (err, data) {
    console.log(err || data);
});
