I've always wanted a better way to explore the authorship data embedded in a Git commit log. I'm having fun building a CLI tool to do this.

It's a bit like the "Contributors" tab on Github that shows you how many commits each contributor has made but much faster and with many more options.

If you get a chance to try it out, please let me know. I'd love to hear feedback and suggestions. Thank you!
