How to generate stats for a GitHub project?

You can try applying gitstats to a cloned repo of your GitHub repo.

See for example the activity of the Git repo itself, with many data like the commits per year/month:

Commits by year/month

See also "Looking at Git Statistics", with the GitHub 'yearly_stats' for a simple little script.

Update April 2013 ("Get up to speed with Pulse"):

Check out Pulse

Pulse is a great way to discover recent activity on projects.
Maybe you haven't checked on your favorite repository in a while or you just discovered a project that looks interesting to you. Pulse will show you who has been actively committing and what has changed in a project's default branch:

You can find the link to the left of the nav bar.

You should have a look to repoXplorer, an open source project I develop. It is able to compute stats for a project (a group of git repositories) as well as for a contributor and a group of contributors. It provides a REST interface and a web UI. The web UI provides various information like, for a project:

  • commits and authors count
  • date histogram of commits
  • date histogram of authors
  • top authors by commits
  • top authors by lines changed
  • top new authors compared to a given period

But best is to have a look to the demo instance here.

Here is a screenshot of the stats of the Kubernetes project (all git repositories of github organization of kubernetes):
