SYNOPSIS

git-log --pretty=short | git-shortlog [-h] [-n] [-s]
git-shortlog [-n|--numbered] [-s|--summary] [<committish>...]

OPTIONS

-h, --help
Print a short usage message and exit.
-n, --numbered
Sort output according to the number of commits per author instead of author alphabetic order.
-s, --summary
Suppress commit description and provide a commit count summary only.

FILES

.mailmap
If this file exists, it will be used for mapping author email addresses to a real author name. One mapping per line, first the author name followed by the email address enclosed by < and >. Use hash # for comments. Example:
# Keep alphabetized
Adam Morrow <adam@localhost.localdomain>
Eve Jones <eve@laptop.(none)>
