How can I graph the Lines of Code history for git repo?
- by dbr
Basically I want to get the number of lines-of-code in the repository after each commit.
The only (really crappy) ways I have found is to use git filter-branch to run "wc -l *", and a script that run git reset --hard on each commit, then ran wc -l
To make it a bit clearer, when the tool is run, it would output the lines of code of the very first commit, then the second and so on.. This is what I want the tool to output (as an example):
me@something:~/$ gitsloc --branch master
10
48
153
450
1734
1542
I've played around with the ruby 'git' library, but the closest I found was using the .lines() method on a diff, which seems like it should give the added lines (but does not.. it returns 0 when you delete lines for example)
require 'rubygems'
require 'git'
total = 0
g = Git.open(working_dir = '/Users/dbr/Desktop/code_projects/tvdb_api')
last = nil
g.log.each do |cur|
diff = g.diff(last, cur)
total = total + diff.lines
puts total
last = cur
end
