Count all the revisions for all files in a git project

Question

Is there a git command that can output for every file in a project something like this or similar to it:

20 file1
43 file2 etc.

I'm interested to see how many times was each file modified by any author, not just for a specific one.

Answer 1

To get a sorted list of all files and the number of commits that modifies them:

git log --pretty='' --name-only | sort | uniq -c | sort -n

• --pretty='' : do not output commit information ( '' )
• --name-only : print name of changed files only
• sort | uniq -c sort | uniq -c : group file names and count number of occurrences (= number of commits modifying the file)
• sort -n : numerical sort by number of modifications
