gitchart.py is a Python script to build SVG charts from a Git repository.
It can build following charts:
- authors (pie chart)
- commits by hour, day of week, month of year, year, year/month (bar charts)
- commits by hour of week (dot char)
- files by type (pie chart)
The script can run with either Python 2.x or 3.x (tested with Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.2).
Only Pygal is required. Install it with this command:
# pip install pygal
Generate pie chart with authors:
$ python gitchart.py authors "Git authors" /path/to/gitrepo/ authors.svg
Generate bar chart with commits by year:
$ python gitchart.py commits_year "Git commits by year" /path/to/gitrepo/ commits_year.svg
Generate bar chart with commits by version (tag):
$ cd /path/to/gitrepo/
$ git tag | python /path/to/gitchart.py commits_version "Git commits by version" . /tmp/commits_version.svg
