git quick-stats is a simple and efficient way to access various statistics in git repository.
Any git repository contains a tonne of information about commits, contributors, and files. Extracting this information is not always trivial, mostly because of a gadzillion options to a gadzillion git commands – I don’t think there is a single person alive who knows them all. Probably not even Linus Torvalds himself :).

git shortlog?Meta: the number of tags on this story seems excessive.
showandvcsare probably sufficient.
