I do like burndown chart showing code as layers over time https://github.com/src-d/hercules#project-burndown
Like other stats, it is not to be taken too seriously on early projects where re-linting or moving lines around may show as dropping all old code...

Another really good option you should check out is using go-git (although many features are missing IMO, I had issues mainly with git blame), or git2go (but it requires linking to libgit2 which sux, also some features are missing like flags and low-level stuff).
