PyGitHub: Get Total number of commits for a repository

Question

I am trying to get total number of Commits for each repository for repositories using Python GitHub.

Code:

 from github import Github
 git = Github("token")
 org = git.get_organization('organization')

 for repo in org.get_repos():
        repository_commit_date = repo.get_commit(sha='master')
        stats_ = repository_commit_date.stats
        print(stats_.total)

The code returns something else and it doesn't match the actual number of commits for the repositories. Can someone help me with this?

I want the output to look like:

Output:

 Repository Name: hello-world
 Number of commits: 62

What do you compare your results with? `git rev-list --count HEAD`? — Romain Valeri, Jan 08 '19 at 16:58

After some googling I was able to get total number of commits for a GitHub repository.

from github import Github
g = Github("username","password")
for repo in g.get_user().get_repos():
    print(repo.name, repo.get_commits().totalCount)
