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:

Contents

☁️ Installation

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

```sh

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 --help Usage: git-stats [options]

Options: -s, --since Optional start date. -u, --until 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 Sets a custom data store file. -f, --first-day Sets the first day of the week. --record 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.json 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`](https://github.com/IonicaBizau/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:

```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, 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. To install it locally, as library, you can do that using npm:

$ npm i --save git-stats
// 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);
});
