If you are a software developer and using Git version control system then you might be interested in what valuable or just funny analytical information you can get out of your Git commit logs

  • How is your code size changing over time?
  • Which files are changed the most?
  • Who are the most active contributors to which parts of the code base?
  • Which hours during the day and which days of the week are the most productive?
  • etc.

How to analyze your Git commit log

Go to your project directory and from the command line store git commit log in a file using the following command (you can use a different file name as well but please use .txt file extension).

On windows:

set LC_ALL=C.UTF-8
git log --numstat > git-log.txt

On UNIX:

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
git log --numstat > git-log.txt

Then, if you do not have eazyBI yet, sign up and select a subscription plan. If you have just hundreds or a couple of thousands of commits then the FREE plan should be enough for you, if you want to analyze an open-source project commit log then you can use PUBLIC plan. But if you would like to analyze larger private project commit logs then select the BASIC subscription plan.

Otherwise, create a new account in your existing eazyBI instance. Then go to Source Data tab and upload your git-log.txt file - it should be recognized as the Git log file. Click Import button to start file import and after a short while it should be imported and you can go to the Analyze tab and start analyzing it.

You can import sample reports or dashboards by visiting demo dashboards above and by exporting and importing dashboard definitions into your account.
