Question

How can I calculate the number of lines added and modified from First commit(initial commit) to Last commit in git?

Answer 1

Either of below commands can be used, stats will be same

1) display stats with count of changed file, insertion count and deletion count

git diff $(git log --pretty=format:"%h" | tail -1) --shortstat

2) display only count of changed and newly added line count, but does not consider deleted line count

git diff $(git log --pretty=format:"%h" | tail -1) | grep '^+' | grep -v +++ | wc -l
