Git, how to know all committers names in the project

To identify all committer names in a Git project, use the git shortlog command with specific flags:

git shortlog -sne --all

Explanation of flags:

• -s (or --summary): 

  This flag summarizes the output, showing the number of commits by each author.
• -n (or --numbered): 

  This sorts the output by the number of commits, with the highest contributor at the top.
• -e (or --email): 

  This displays the email address of each committer alongside their name.
• --all: 

  This ensures that the command considers all branches in the repository, not just the currently checked-out branch.

Output:

The command will produce a list of committers, each followed by their email address and the total number of commits they have made across all branches. For example:

    20  John Doe <john.doe@example.com>

    15  Jane Smith <jane.smith@example.com>

     8  Bob Johnson <bob.johnson@example.com>
