Show HN: Contribution Graph as a Git Command

Hi HN! A while ago I saw a CLI to display the GitHub contribution graph in a console, so I came up with the idea of a custom git command that made the exact same graph but based on the current repository. If you like it or have any feedback about the tool itself and its code, just leave a comment. Thank you for your attention :)

  It'd be cool if it could also produce a graph of all contributors along the Y-axis. Overall I dig it, nice job!

  Thank you for the utility. In order to get this to work on macOS, I needed to use Homebrew bash (5.1 instead of macOS' native 3.2) and the GNU date utility from Homebrew's coreutils, since macOS' native date binary uses different arguments. Essentially, change the shebang to "#!/usr/bin/env bash" and use "gdate" instead of "date" wherever "date" is used.

you could also use these characters in a --no-color mode https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_Elements https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_Elements

Great tool! Want to add it to GitAlias? See the git alias `git-chart` for example. https://github.com/gitalias/gitalias https://github.com/gitalias/gitalias

This was way less code than I expected it to be. Nice!

Does anyone know of a way to list number of commits to a project by email domain? Is that even possible?
- woodruffw 4y ago
  I don't see why it wouldn't be possible -- you can use `git log` with a formatting rule (like `--pretty=email`), and then parse the `From:` fields and group them by domain. The rest is application specific: you'll need to determine whether you want to/should normalize subdomains to their parent, for example.

    Yeah, `git log --format=%ae | sed s/.*@//` will get you most of the way there, and then it’s down to how you want to deal with the domains themselves, as you say!

  You could try mergestat (formerly known as askgit) which lets you run SQL queries against a git repo https://github.com/mergestat/mergestat https://github.com/mergestat/mergestat
