"For Dummies" Installation and Usage for Windows Developers #177
-
|
I am not Unix literate. Not interested in working with the source code. Just want to collect some stats on my C#-based repos. Not finding the instructions consumable. Does anyone have a "for dummies" version of how to get the tool installed and working? I have cloned the repo locally but don't know where to start from there. Entering 'git-quick-stats' on a command line at the root of the repo directory just results in "'git-quick-stats' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." Thanks in advance. |

git-quick-statsrequires a POSIX-like environment to run. For Windows users, we recommend using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).
