git2stats

a lightweight parser for git log --stat with 0 dependencies.

parses git logs into a complete serializable javascript object - gives changes/files/commits

For now it is not really branch-aware, but the advanced mode gathers quite more data than other packages, including the lines that have changed and their line number before/after change.

install

npm install git2stats

use

the git2stats object exposes 2 asynchronous functions working similarly, git2stats.getBasicStats(path[,options]) & git2stats.getAdvancedStats(path[,options])

to learn more about output data, see nex section structure of output

use it in your project like this

const git2stats = require('git2stats')
 
git2stats
  .getBasicStats('C:/path/to/your/git/repository')
  .then(data => {
    // your magik goes here
    console.log(data)
  })
  .catch(err => console.error(err))
 

to save git stats in a JSON file :

const path = require('path')
const fs = require('fs')
 
const git2stats = require('git2stats')
 
const output = 'gitstats.json'
 
git2stats
  .getAdvancedStats(path.resolve(__dirname, '../')) // resolve your own path
  .then(data => {
    fs.writeFile(
      output,
      JSON.stringify(data, null, 2),
      'utf-8',
      (err) => err && console.error(err) // if error log error
    )
  })
  .catch(err => console.error(err))
 

to save them in YAML file

(much more readable and lightweight)

const path = require('path')
const fs = require('fs')
const yaml = require('js-yaml') // you need to npm install this
 
const git2stats = require('git2stats')
 
const output = 'gitstats.yml'
 
git2stats
  .getAdvancedStats(path.resolve(__dirname, '../')) // resolve your own path again
  .then(data => {
    fs.writeFile(
      output,
      yaml.safeDump(data), // to turn your object into yaml
      'utf-8',
      (err) => err && console.error(err)
    )
  })
  .catch(err => console.error(err))

structure of output

you have different (similar, but more complete) output depending on the function you call

• .getBasicStats will not have the diff section for files

command-line tool

for fun, this package works also as a command line tool, you can use it anywhere with npx

npx git2stats

Anyway, it only allows you to preview the json data that's extracted...
