Question

I would like to do some stats on my git log to get something like:

10 Daniel Schmidt
5  Peter
1  Klaus

The first column is the count of commits and the second the commiter.
I already got as far as this:

    git log --raw |
    grep "^Author: " |
    sort |
    uniq -c |
    sort -nr |
    less -FXRS

The interesting part is the

    grep "^Author: "

which i wanted to modify with a nice Regex to exclude the mail adress.
With Rubular something like this http://rubular.com/r/mEzP2hFjGb worked, but if i insert it in the grep (or in a piped other one) it won’t get me the right output.

Sidequestion: Is there a possibility to get the count and the author seperated by something else then whitespace while staying in this pipe command style? I would like to have a nicer seperator between both to us column later (and maybe some color ^^)

Thanks a lot for your help!

Google git-extras. It has a git summary that does this.
