Overview

When I was in university, I wanted a program that would tally up my git commits in a certain project that I'm working on. Based on search engine ninja skills, I couldn't find a program that did this. I decided to scratch my own itch.

I present DrillSergeant, where you can get a tally of the contributors' commits in a certain project. Additionally, you can filter by branch to get commits by branch.

Usage

Please see the wiki for information.

Installation

There's are two forms of installation: releases and building from sources. This readme goes through both.

Releases

You may get releases from the releases page. This is the recommended way to start using DrillSergeant.

There will be three separate downloads: Windows (x86 64-bit), Linux (x86 64-bit), and Linux (ARM 64-bit), dubbed win64, linux64, and linuxaarch64 respectively.

Once downloaded and extracted, you can move it to your $PATH.

If you do not have any of these platforms, read on to source installation as that's the next best option.

Source

Prerequisites

You need the following to be able to build DrillSergeant:

• .NET 6 (available for Windows, macOS, and modern Linux distributions)
• git

Prepare

First, clone the repository with git:

git clone https://scm.wyattjmiller.com/wymiller/DrillSergeant

Then, change directories to where you've cloned DrillSergeant:

cd path/to/DrillSergeant

Build

Then, to build a full release of DrillSergeant (you can change the runtime to whatever fits your platform. You can learn more about this here):

dotnet publish DrillSergeant.csproj --configuration Release --framework net6.0 --output publish --self-contained True --runtime linux-x64 --verbosity Normal /property:PublishTrimmed=True /property:PublishSingleFile=True /property:IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract=True /property:DebugType=None /property:DebugSymbols=False

Then, you can find the binary in the publish/ directory. You can move this executable to somewhere in the $PATH or you make a new enviroment variable to be integrated into your $PATH.
