What Hacker News says

I made a tool myself [0] with slightly different tools. It answers two questions: Who are the relevant coders and what parts of the code are the hotspots? Here is an example run on sqlite: Top Committers (of 28 authors): D. Richard Hipp 13359 commits during 19 years until 2019-09-17 Dan Kennedy 5813 commits during 17 years until 2019-09-16 together these authors have 80+% of the commits (19172/20987) Files with most commits: 1143 commits: src/sqlite.h.in during 19 years until 2019-09-16 1331 commits: src/where.c during 19 years until 2019-09-03 1360 commits: src/btree.c during 18 years until 2019-08-24 1650 commits: src/vdbe.c during 19 years until 2019-09-16 1893 commits: src/sqliteInt.h during 19 years until 2019-09-14 Files with most auth

In Show HN: Statistical tool for analyzing a Git repository
Things in my dot repo [0]: git-overview: Short report about top committers, files with most commits and most authors. Nice when you checkout a non-trivial repo for the first time. git-onNotify: Do something (like `make`) whenever a tracked file changes. Usually used to build LaTeX and static websites. git-randomline: Chooses a random file and a random line number there. The game is explain that single line to some fellow. Do this repeatedly to spread knowledge about a codebase. git-tarball: Pack the repo into a tar.bz2 file. [0] https://github.com/qznc/dot/tree/master/bin
In Little Things I Like to Do with Git
At least you can build your own scripts around this stuff. Building LaTeX for me goes like this: I use vim, change a line, and hit ":w". My git-onNotify [0] script detects a change and issues "make show". The Makefile uses rubber or latexmk to build a pdf, then issues "gnome-open $PDF", which opens the new version in my pdf viewer. If my screen is tiled, the preview on the side just updates. Essentially, I just save my tex file and wait for the change. [0] https://github.com/beza1e1/dot/blob/master/bin/git-onNotify
