Git Shortlog: Who Really Wrote the Code?

Wondering who’s actually writing the code on your team? Git knows and it’s not subtle.

In this episode of Wait… Git Can Do That?, we show you how git shortlog -sne breaks down commit counts by contributor.

✅ See who’s active, who’s dropped off
✅ Sort by name, email, and commit count
✅ Bonus: GitKraken Desktop shows this visually with diffs, additions, and deletions

Useful for standups, retros, or just flexing.
