Count all lines written by a specific user in all your projects on Github

Question

I am wondering if there is a way in Github to count the total number of lines of code that a user has written on all his projects.

git log --author="<author>" --oneline --shortstat will list the amount of code for this repo, but I am wondering if there is a way to list all the code that the user has ever clicked on Github.

Answer 1

I wrote a basic program that will do this: http://stats.kaufer.org/

The source for this is Github here: https://github.com/mjkaufer/stats

Basically, I ended up using the Github API.
