title: Gitlab: Search Commits per user
body: <p>As an admin, I would like to find out how many commits are done per branch, per user, total commits by a user in last 3 months, total commits in last 3 months. etc.. How can I do this ?</p>
  
  <p>I could see this on Github like this: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12174276/github-list-commits-by-author">List commit by user</a></p>
  
  <p>I want to see the same thing for GitLab also. </p>
  
  <p>I am running Gitlab CE version: 7.2.1</p>
  
  <p>I thought of running <code>git log --author='userid'</code> but this will take forever to run for so many user / so many branches. Same would apply for running <a href="http://gitstats.sourceforge.net/" rel="noreferrer">Gitstats</a> because I have to sync all the branches locally first.</p>
  
  <p>Any pointers please? </p>
