Counting commits with Git

Published on 10 February 2014 at 15:56 by Adam

To count commits on a branch, you can use git rev-list.

For the branch you're on, use:

git rev-list --count HEAD
5

Or for another <branch>, use:

git rev-list --count <branch>
5

Also, to count commits by author, you can use git shortlog:

git shortlog -s -n
