filelines-measurer

Show stats graphs of the lines of a file in time. Useful only if file was tracked by git.

Requirements:

• git
• matplotlib (for graph drawing) sudo apt-get install python3-matplotlib

Or see http://matplotlib.org/users/installing.html

Instructions

Execute in console

python3 filelines.py filepath

Where 'filepath' is the path (relative or absolute) of the file you want to measure.

Custom horizontal line

If you want a fixed horizontal line (maybe to compare the lines with a limit), you can pass an optional value --y_line followed by a number

python3 filelines.py filepath --y_line 300

(This will draw an horizontal line at y=300)

Troubleshooting

fatal: XXX: 'XXX' is outside repository

• If the file to measure is in an outside repository, you need to specify the path of the git repository where the file is located. Use --gitdir path/to/git/repo

python3 filelines.py filepath --gitdir path/to/git/repo

Python2

It should also work with python 2.x, but I will not guarantee it

python filelines.py filename
