SQL Queries

The following SQL shows how to find the commit author count in specific repositories, eg. 'repo-1' and 'repo-2'.

SELECT
count(distinct c.author_id)
FROM
commits c
LEFT JOIN repo_commits rc ON c.sha = rc.commit_sha
LEFT JOIN repos r ON r.id = rc.repo_id
WHERE
-- please replace the repo ids with your own, or create a '$repo_id' variable in Grafana
r.id in ('repo-1', 'repo-2')
and message not like '%Merge%'
and $__timeFilter(c.authored_date)
-- the following condition will remove the month with incomplete data
and c.authored_date >= DATE_ADD(DATE_ADD($__timeFrom(), INTERVAL -DAY($__timeFrom())+1 DAY), INTERVAL +1 MONTH)

How to improve?

As a secondary indicator, this helps assess the labor cost of participating in coding.
