```
#### Git log since / until
You can set variable `_GIT_SINCE`, `_GIT_UNTIL` and limit the git log
```bash
export _GIT_SINCE="2017-01-20"
export _GIT_UNTIL="2017-01-22"
```
then run `git quick-stats` (affect all stats, except "My daily status" and "Git changelogs" )
#### Git log limit
You can set variable `_GIT_LIMIT` for limited output (it will affect: "Git changelogs" and "Branch tree view" )
```bash
export _GIT_LIMIT=20
```
#### Git pathspec
You can exclude directory from the stats by using [pathspec](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitglossary#gitglossary-aiddefpathspecapathspec)
```bash
export _GIT_PATHSPEC=':!directory'
```
#### Color themes
You can change to the legacy color scheme by toggling the variable `_MENU_THEME` between `default` and `legacy`
```bash
export _MENU_THEME=legacy
```

## Installation
#### Unix-like OS

sudo make install
```
For uninstalling, open up the cloned directory and run
```bash
sudo make uninstall
```
For update/reinstall
```bash
sudo make reinstall
```
#### OS X (homebrew)
```bash
brew install git-quick-stats
```
#### Windows (cygwin)
* [installer](https://gist.github.com/arzzen/35e09866dfdadf2108b2420045739245)
* [uninstaller](https://gist.github.com/arzzen/21c660014d0663b6c5710014714779d6)
## System requirements
* Unix-like OS with a proper shell
* Tools we use: awk ; cat ; column ; echo ; git ; grep ; head ; seq ; sort ; tput ; tr ; uniq ; wc
#### Dependences
* [`bsdmainutils`](https://packages.debian.org/sid/bsdmainutils) `apt install bsdmainutils`
## FAQ
*Q:* I get some errors after run git-quick-stats in cygwin like `/usr/local/bin/git-quick-stats: line 2: $'\r': command not found`
*A:* You can run dos2unix app in cygwin `/bin/dos2unix.exe /usr/local/bin/git-quick-stats`. This will convert it to Unix format and you then should be able to run it.
## Contribution
Want to contribute? Great! First, read this page.
#### Code reviews
All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review.</br>
We use Github pull requests for this purpose.
#### Some tips for good pull requests:
* Use our code </br>
When in doubt, try to stay true to the existing code of the project.
* Write a descriptive commit message. What problem are you solving and what
are the consequences? Where and what did you test? Some good tips:
[here](http://robots.thoughtbot.com/5-useful-tips-for-a-better-commit-message)
and [here](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SubmittingPatches).
* If your PR consists of multiple commits which are successive improvements /
fixes to your first commit, consider squashing them into a single commit
(`git rebase -i`) such that your PR is a single commit on top of the current
HEAD. This make reviewing the code so much easier, and our history more
readable.
#### Formatting
This documentation is written using standard [markdown syntax](https://help.github.com/articles/markdown-basics/). Please submit your changes using the same syntax.

## Usage
### Interactive
git-quick-stats has a built-in interactive menu that can be executed as such:
```bash
git-quick-stats
```
Or
```bash
git quick-stats
```
### Non-interactive
For those who prefer to utilize command-line options, `git-quick-stats` also has a non-interactive mode supporting both short and long options:
```bash
git-quick-stats <optional-command-to-execute-directly>
```
Or
```bash
git quick-stats <optional-command-to-execute-directly>
```
### Command-line arguments
Possible arguments in short and long form:
```bash
-r, --suggest-reviewers
show the best people to contact to review code
-T, --detailed-git-stats
give a detailed list of git stats
-R, --git-stats-by-branch

-d, --commits-per-day

-L, --changelogs-by-author

-j, --json-output
save git log as a JSON formatted file to a specified area
-h, -?, --help
display this help text in the terminal
```
### Git log since and until
You can set the variables `_GIT_SINCE` and/or `_GIT_UNTIL` before running `git-quick-stats` to limit the git log. These work similar to git's built-in `--since` and `--until` log options.
```bash
export _GIT_SINCE="2017-01-20"
export _GIT_UNTIL="2017-01-22"
```
Once set, run `git quick-stats` as normal. Note that this affects all stats that parse the git log history until unset.
### Git log limit
You can set variable `_GIT_LIMIT` for limited output. It will affect the "changelogs" and "branch tree" options.
```bash
export _GIT_LIMIT=20
```
### Git pathspec
You can exclude directory from the stats by using [pathspec](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitglossary#gitglossary-aiddefpathspecapathspec)
```bash
export _GIT_PATHSPEC=':!directory'
```
### Color themes
You can change to the legacy color scheme by toggling the variable `_MENU_THEME` between `default` and `legacy`
```bash
export _MENU_THEME=legacy
```

## Installation
### UNIX and Linux
```bash
git clone https://github.com/arzzen/git-quick-stats.git && cd git-quick-stats
sudo make install
```
For uninstalling, open up the cloned directory and run
```bash
sudo make uninstall
```
For update/reinstall
```bash
sudo make reinstall
```
### macOS (homebrew)
```bash
brew install git-quick-stats
```
Or you can follow the UNIX and Linux instructions if you wish.
### Windows
If you are installing with Cygwin, use these scripts:
* [installer](https://gist.github.com/arzzen/35e09866dfdadf2108b2420045739245)
* [uninstaller](https://gist.github.com/arzzen/21c660014d0663b6c5710014714779d6)
If you are wishing to use this with WSL, follow the UNIX and Linux instructions.
## System requirements
* An OS with a Bash shell
* Tools we use: awk ; basename ; cat ; column ; echo ; git ; grep ; head ; seq ; sort ; tput ; tr ; uniq ; wc
### Dependencies
* [`bsdmainutils`](https://packages.debian.org/sid/bsdmainutils) `apt install bsdmainutils`
## FAQ
*Q:* I get some errors after run git-quick-stats in cygwin like `/usr/local/bin/git-quick-stats: line 2: $'\r': command not found`
*A:* You can run the dos2unix app in cygwin as follows: `/bin/dos2unix.exe /usr/local/bin/git-quick-stats`. This will convert the script from the CR-LF convention that Microsoft uses to the LF convention that UNIX, OS X, and Linux use. You should then should be able to run it as normal.
