Show a list of the top authors of all the files in a folder, according to git blame.

Use

bash git-top-authors.sh path/to/folder

Output

593 Author 1
352 Author 2
168 Author 3
 76 Author 4

git-top-authors.sh

#!/bin/bash

DIR="$1"

IFS=$'\n'
cd "$DIR"
LIST=""
for i in $(find . -iname "*.scss"); do
  LIST="`git blame --line-porcelain "$i" | grep 'author ' | sed "s,author,," | tr -d ' '`
  $LIST"
done
echo "$LIST" | sort | uniq -ic | sort -nr
unset IFS

How can I make this go for all files, not just scss files?

just leave out the filter criterion in the find command (eg "find .") @RedGuy12
