Neat. Looks like it outputs something similar to what I had started with this[0] project. I had the idea while sitting in a meeting one day, and played with it for an evening, and the morning after... Never really followed up and finished it yet, though.

This is pretty cool, It would be nice if github provided all of that data in their graphs tab

Yeah, it would be cool to see. As I mentioned in the readme, it's not necessarily indicative of anything -- if someone started a new iOS project, 95% of their code ownership would be of template/project setup code, so it'd be hard for anyone else to see how much they've actually contributed. That's why I added filters, though.
