How to get the top committers in git?

How to get the top committers in git? Like in github:

top git commiters

But plain text is fine showing number of commits and author names/emails sorted by the number of commits.

You may use this command:

git log | grep Author | sort | uniq -c | sort -n -r

Here, count the number of commits by names/emails and show from the authors with highest number of commits.

Example output will be like

247 Author: Paul Phillips <paulp@improving.org>
 45 Author: Dale Wijnand <dale.wijnand@gmail.com>
