Git - create statistics about working on weekend

Question

What would you recommend for creating statistics about working on weekends?

I tried some tools, and I like git timecard the most but I have a problem with it : in the background it uses git log, and I receive this warning : "warning: Log for '...' only goes back to Sat, 1 Aug 2015 01:29:32 +0200' .

I already tried to solve this without success. I found the --full-history switch for git log, but that did not help.

Thanks for any help in advance!

Is your problem with the short history that you need history from multiple branches? Or is your history actually pretty short and you just need the message suppressed? — Jeff Bowman, Aug 17 '15 at 06:30
My history is too short. Git log says that it goes back to aug 1 only. — thorax, Aug 17 '15 at 09:44
Is that when you started your project? Or are you using a shallow clone? — Wolf, Aug 17 '15 at 14:44

For either linux, windows (with wsl) or macos, you can use gitstats, installation found here

https://flossexperiences.wordpress.com/2015/10/03/gitstats-the-easiest-way-to-see-stats/

useage is

gitstats . ../projectStatsDirectory

then go to projectStatsDirectory and look at index.html

I had similar issue with some of my commercial projects which are not on GitHub. I did not need a lot of statistical information about my repository, just a simple answer - How much active days with commits you had. So i wrote a simple script to do it for me - https://github.com/aerkalov/sabbath

#!/usr/bin/env python

from __future__ import print_function

import datetime
import collections
import argparse
import sys


DAYS_OF_WEEK = ['Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday', 'Sunday']
MIN_SATURDAY = 1
MIN_SUNDAY = 1

weekdays = collections.Counter()
dates = []
total = 0


def parse_stdin():
    global dates
    global total

    for line in sys.stdin:
        date = line.strip().split(' ')[3]

        if date not in dates:
            dates.append(date)
            # yes :)
            d2 = date.split('-')
            d = datetime.datetime(int(d2[0]), int(d2[1]), int(d2[2]))
            weekdays[d.weekday()] += 1
            total += 1


def show_report(use_colours):
    print('\nRemember the sabbath day')
    print('-' * 80)

    for days in range(7):
        num = weekdays[days]
        try:
            per = float(num) / float(total) * 100
        except ZeroDivisionError:
            per = 0

        colour_start, colour_end = '', ''

        if use_colours:
            colour_start, colour_end = '\033[32m', '\033[0m'

            if days >= 5:
                if days == 5 and num > MIN_SATURDAY:
                    colour_start = '\033[31m'
                if days == 6 and num > MIN_SUNDAY:
                    colour_start = '\033[31m'

        print('{day:>10} : {cs}{percent:>2} %{ce} : {cs}{graph}{ce}'.format(
            day=DAYS_OF_WEEK[days],
            cs=colour_start,
            ce=colour_end,
            percent=int(round(per)),
            graph='#' * int(per)
        ))
    print('-' * 80)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
        description='''Check how much do you work on weekends.
  https://github.com/aerkalov/sabbath''',
        epilog='''Usage:
  $ git log --date=short | grep "^Date:" | sabbath.py -s -c
  $ git log --date=short --since="2013-01-01" | grep "^Date:" | sabbath.py -s

  $ git log --date=short --author=Erkal | grep "^Date:" | sabbath.py -5
  $ echo $?
  ''',
        formatter_class=argparse.RawTextHelpFormatter)

    parser.add_argument('-s', '--show', action='store_true', default=False, dest='show', help='Show Git activity.')
    parser.add_argument('-5', '--have-i-sinned', action='store_true', default=False, dest='sinner', help='Are you a sinner?')
    parser.add_argument('-c', '--colour', action='store_true', default=False, dest='colour', help='Use colours in report.')

    args = parser.parse_args()

    if len(sys.argv) == 1:
        parser.print_help()
        sys.exit(0)

    if args.sinner:
        parse_stdin()
        if weekdays[5] > MIN_SATURDAY or weekdays[6] > MIN_SUNDAY:
            sys.exit(1)

    if args.show:
        parse_stdin()
        show_report(args.colour)

    sys.exit(0)
