How can I get calculate for a git repo on OS X

Question

I tried using gitstats (http://gitstats.sourceforge.net/), but the damn thing doesn't generate graphs.

It requires gnuplot, which requires a bunch of other libs to be installed, none of which have a native OS X port. I've spent 4 hours trying to figure out how to install libpng to install libgd, to install lib... forget it.

Anyone know of a simpler way of generating visual git stat report for OS X?

Try homebrew for installing gnuplot http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/ — Felix Kling, Aug 25 '11 at 23:21
@Felix, will that also install the png terminal support? That's the main problem. — AWF4vk, Aug 25 '11 at 23:24
Good question, I don't know... let me try (but I can already say that homebrew also makes it easier to install third party libs). — Felix Kling, Aug 25 '11 at 23:25
It seemed to work for me, I was able to generate the HTML files. — Felix Kling, Aug 25 '11 at 23:33
@Felix, it always generates the HTML files. But not the graphs. — AWF4vk, Aug 25 '11 at 23:41
There are also graphs... ;) I'm not sure whether libpng is a dependency though... I think I installed it separately some time ago (with homebrew of course). — Felix Kling, Aug 25 '11 at 23:42
@Felix, nope. Fails to install gnuplot. Failed executing: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/pango/1.28.4 --with-x — AWF4vk, Aug 26 '11 at 19:51

# homebrew rocks
brew install gnuplot

# 'install' gitstats
git clone git://repo.or.cz/gitstats.git

# create and open reports
./gitstats path_to_your_git_repo path_to_report_output
open path_to_report_output/index.html
