How to list commiters sorted by number of commits (commit count)?

Question

In mercurial, how do you list commiters sorted by number of commits (commit count).

Using git, you can do something like this :

git shortlog -ns 

What is the equivalent command for mercurial ?

Answer 1

There is no pure Mercurial solution, but you can do something like:

hg log --template "{author|person}\n" | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr

If you want to be able to type hg shortlog, you can add the following to your .hgrc or mercurial.ini:

[alias] shortlog = !hg log --template "{author|person}\n" | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr
