git-snoop

git-snoop: A command line tool for statistical analysis of a git repository. It generates a detailed statistical information about a repository.

Description

Wouldn’t it be amazing if say you clone a huge codebase and want to quickly see some important details about this repository. git-snoop lets you do that with just a simple command from your terminal.

Statistics

• shows authors info (name and number of commits) and lead author
• shows number of branches
• shows start date
• shows total number of commits
• shows top 10 filetypes (by extension) and total number of filetypes

Installation

• Install Node.js and npm
• cd git-snoop
• npm install -g

Usage

$ cd <some-git-repository>
$ git-snoop .

Future Improvements

• The display can be converted into a nice image that will open using native image viewer
• It currently ignores the files or directories (patterns) that are listed in src/ignore.js but this list can be missing some other files or directories that should not be included while calculating file-types related information
