Pywayne Bin Gitstats

Analyze Git repository commit time distribution and generate visualizations.

Quick Start

# Analyze current repository (default: current directory, current branch)
gitstats

# Specify custom output path
gitstats --save output.png

# Analyze with time filter
gitstats --since "2024-01-01"

Usage Examples

Basic Analysis

# Analyze current repository
gitstats

# Analyze specific repository path
gitstats /path/to/repo

# Show plot in popup window (no file saved)
gitstats -p

Time Range Filtering

# Commits since specific date
gitstats --since "2024-01-01"

# Commits within date range
gitstats --since "2024-01-01" --until "2024-12-31"

# Relative time expressions
gitstats --since "1 year ago"
gitstats --since "90 days ago"
gitstats --until "30 days ago"

Branch Selection

# Analyze specific branch
gitstats --branch main
gitstats --branch develop
gitstats --branch origin/main

# Analyze all branches
gitstats --all

Timezone Configuration

# Use UTC timezone
gitstats --tz UTC

# Use specific timezone
gitstats --tz "America/New_York"
gitstats --tz "Europe/London"

# Default is Asia/Shanghai
gitstats --tz "Asia/Shanghai"

Custom Output

# Custom output filename
gitstats --save my_stats.png

# Output to subdirectory
gitstats --save results/commit_analysis.png

# Absolute path
gitstats --save /tmp/git_stats.png

Combined Examples

# All branches, last year, custom output
gitstats --since "1 year ago" --all --save yearly_stats.png

# Main branch, last 90 days, UTC timezone
gitstats --branch main --since "90 days ago" --tz UTC

# Develop branch, date range, show plot
gitstats --branch develop --since "2024-01-01" --until "2024-06-30" -p

Command Reference

Argument	Description
`repo`	Git repository path. Default: current directory
`--since`	Start time (e.g., "2024-01-01", "1 year ago", "90 days ago")
`--until`	End time (same formats as --since)
`--tz`	Timezone. Default: "Asia/Shanghai". Examples: "UTC", "America/New_York"
`--branch`	Specific branch to analyze. Examples: "main", "develop", "origin/main"
`--all`	Analyze all branches (overrides --branch)
`--save`	Output image path. Default: "git_time_distribution.png"
`-p`, `--show-plot`	Show plot in popup window without saving file

Output Charts

Generates a 3×2 subplot layout visualization:

Commits per Day - Line chart showing daily commit counts
Commits by Hour - Bar chart for hours 0-23
Commits by Weekday - Bar chart for Mon-Sun
Heatmap: Weekday × Hour - Color-coded activity matrix

Chart title includes: repository name, branch, and timezone.

Branch Selection Priority

If --all is specified, all branches are analyzed
If --branch is specified, only that branch is analyzed
If neither is specified, current HEAD branch is used

Requirements

Git must be installed
Python dependencies: pandas, matplotlib (installed with pywayne)

Notes

Time range can use Git's flexible date formats (absolute dates, relative expressions)
Output file is overwritten if it exists
Large repositories with --all may take longer to process
Commit times are parsed in UTC, then converted to specified timezone
