repostat

Tool for collecting various information about git source code repositories.

Per Commit Metrics

• No. of lines of code modified (additions + deletions)
• No. of hunks modified
• No. of files modified
• No. of methods modified
• Is it a merge?

Time Metrics: Per hour, day, week, month, quarter, year, lifespan

• No. commits
• No. specific commit metrics (see above)
• No. contributors (commit authors)
• No. branches

These statistics are intended to answer a set of queries, such as

• During what time periods is the project most active?
• When are lines, hunks, files, or methods modified most closely correlated?

Usage:

repostat [repo-path]

Goes through the history of the provided repository and calculates the total number of line changes, hunks, and files modified for each commit SHA. Stores the data in a CSV file, uniquely named results/repo-path-results.yyyy-mm-dd.hh-mm-ss.csv, with the appropriate time used.
