error Error: ENOENT, open '~/.git-stats'

[ionelmc]

I get this when running git-stats:

error Error: ENOENT, open '/home/ionel/.git-stats'

Seems it doesn't create this file. What's going on here?

Details

$ node --version
v0.10.33

Yeah, that's an bug...

We should check here if the file doesn't exists:

git-stats/lib/index.js

Line 98 in c70ecec

if (err) { return callback(err); }

If so, it should be created:

if (err && err.code === "ENOENT") {
   return GitStats.save({}, function (err) {
       callback(err, {});
   });
}

I'd appreciate a pull request with this change! Thanks! 😄

In the meantime you can fix it quickly by running echo '{}' > ~/.git-stas.

Ah yeah, I did that then I realized I need to override the git commit command in my shell.

Any way to import the history? (I don't use the git commit command anyway).

npm docs git-stats-importer (it's kind of buried in the readme, took me a while to find it too)

[IonicaBizau]

@atuttle +1 for npm docs, something that I was looking for! 😄
