Why does the GitLab Graph only show commits and not Additions/Deletions?

Question

From my previous projects I´m used to being able to check Additions/Deletions committed by every project member but now (new project) I only see the numbers of commits from every group member in the Graph section of GitLab. This, however, proves a bit pointless because even a oneliner can stand for one commit and doesn´t satisfy my information need.

Since this is a university project, it is essential to follow the overall contributions of every member to the project.

How can I change it to showing the actual Additions/Deletions numbers ?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Even if you can't rely on Gitlab anymore to show you these stats, it is still possible to get them directly from the command line.

See: https://coderwall.com/p/pek-yg/git-statistics-for-repo-per-author

git log --shortstat --author="Optional" | grep -E "fil(e|es) changed" | awk '{files+=$1; inserted+=$4; deleted+=$6} END {print "files changed: ", files, "lines inserted: ", inserted, "lines deleted: ", deleted }'

Answer 2

This feature has been removed starting from v7.4.0 of GitLab, due to bad performance.

You can see the feature removal in this commit.
