The project organized around a single command that can run as git-quick-stats or git quick-stats, giving users an interactive menu as well as non-interactive options. Over time the project added package-manager installation paths, Docker support, JSON and CSV output modes, time-window filters, pathspec filtering, author filtering, heatmaps, timezone breakdowns, and platform notes for GNU date on macOS and FreeBSD. ### Adoption history git-quick-stats has broader package coverage than many small Git helpers: the input records Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Alpine, Nix, and Scoop packaging. The README also documents apt installation for Debian Bullseye or Ubuntu Focal and later, Homebrew installation on macOS, Windows use through Cygwin or WSL, and Docker use. The project sits in the long-lived command-line reporting niche around git log, providing a friendlier front end for data that Git can expose but that is tedious to assemble by hand. ### How it is used Practitioners run it inside a Git repository to open the interactive menu or pass flags for reports such as detailed stats, branch stats, contributors, commits per author, commits by day, commits by hour, branches by date, changelogs, and new contributors since a date or tag. Environment variables let users shape reports without separate config files: _GIT_SINCE and _GIT_UNTIL bound the log range, _GIT_PATHSPEC excludes paths, _GIT_IGNORE_AUTHORS filters people, and _GIT_MERGE_VIEW changes merge handling. ### Why package nerds care For package-index users, git-quick-stats is a classic portable shell utility: small dependency surface, installation through many OS package managers, and behavior built on standard command-line tools such as git, awk, grep, sort, and coreutils. ### Timeline - 2017: Repository initialized. - 2017: 1.0.0 tag published. - 2024: 2.x series developed after years of 1.x releases. - 2026: 2.11.0 tag published. ### Related projects - git itself provides the raw log data consumed by git-quick-stats. - GNU coreutils supplies GNU date, which the README calls out as a requirement on macOS and FreeBSD. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low -
