The command "git shortlog -sne" is used in Git to generate a summarized and sorted list of contributors, showing the number of commits made by each contributor. Here is a breakdown of each part of the command:
-
"git": Refers to the Git version control system.
-
"shortlog": Is the command used to generate a summarized changelog of Git commits, grouped by author.
-
"-s": Stands for "summary". It provides a condensed summary output, showing only the number of commits made by each contributor.
-
"-n": Sorts the list in descending order, based on the number of commits. Contributors with more commits will be listed first.
-
"-e": Displays the email addresses of contributors alongside their names. This is helpful when you want to contact contributors or identify them uniquely.
So when you execute the command "git shortlog -sne", Git will analyze the commit history of the repository and provide a list of contributors, showing the number of commits made by each contributor, sorted in descending order, along with their names and email addresses.
