Method for Calculating Statistics of Developer Contribution to a Specified Branch.

[Hongyi Zhao <hongyi.zhao@gmail.com>]

Dear Git Mailing List,

I am a developer currently working on a project and I wanted to
establish statistics for each team member's contribution to a specific
branch.

Say, for a user "JianboLin", I am currently using the following method:

$ git clone https://github.com/OrderN/CONQUEST-release.git
$ cd CONQUEST-release
$ git log --author="JianboLin" --stat --summary origin/f-mlff | awk
'NF ==4 && $2 =="|" && $3 ~/[0-9]+/ && $4 ~/[+-]+|[+]+|[-]+/ {s+=$3}
END {print s}'

Using the above command, I am able to calculate the number of lines
contributed by a specific author on a specific branch, which allows me
to quantify the contribution to a branch by each team member.

However, I would like to know if a more efficient or accurate method
exists to carry out this task. Are there any other parameters,
commands, or aspects I need to consider to get a more comprehensive
measure of contribution?

I greatly appreciate your expertise and look forward to your valuable input.

Best Regards,

Zhao
