runs linguist on ever commit since a date

linguist-runner.sh

#!/usr/bin/bash

for commit in $(git --no-pager log --reverse --after="2016-10-01T10:36:00-07:00" --pretty=format:%H)
do
  echo $commit
  git checkout $commit 
  
  #write linguist data to a file
  echo "" >> ~/repo-linguist-report.txt
  echo "commit: $commit" >> ~/repo-linguist-report.txt
  github-linguist >> ~/repo-linguist-report.txt
  
  #write commit dates to another file, because we're lazy 
  echo "commit: $commit" >> ~/repo-commit-dates.txt
  git show -s --format=%ci $commit >> ~/repo-commit-dates.txt
done

Nice quick idea, thanks :)

A side note;

You need to first install github-linguist gem on your OS:

For MacOs;

sudo gem install github-linguist

correct, this is dependant on https://github.com/github/linguist#installation

Thanks @burntcookie90

May I ask how to view such a chart for my project after executing this command? I executed it and it finished but I don't know what to do next.

@nuhkoca, sorry for the necro reply i totally missed your comment! We ended up just sticking the data in a google sheet and charting it there.
