We finished a big refactoring today and I wanted to tell someone about it. I didn’t want to make up any numbers, but it is also kinda difficult to estimate how much code one deleted, changed or added. Luckily, git can tell you exactly what you did. Be on your branch with the changes you made, and run

$ git diff --shortstat master

The response will look like this:

53 files changed, 863 insertions(+), 1312 deletions(-)

and these numbers you can now share in your refactoring story.
