Get number of commits per author on all branches of Git repo

Question

I used git shortlog -sn --all to get a list of all authors with their commits for all the branches.

The problem is , i just want the list of authors that have been contributing since last year , ignoring the others. Is there any way to include a time range in this? Because from the help page i don't see anything like that.

The git-hub also provides this through API call but that just returns the top 100 contributors, not all of them.

Thanks

You can use the since argument for this.

git shortlog -sn --all --since=1.year

It has relative times but you can also use dates:

git shortlog -sn --all --since={2016-01-01}

Or a range:

git shortlog -sn --all --after={2013-04-01} --before={2014-01-01}
