go-git-churn

A fast tool for collecting code churn metrics from git repositories.

Installation

You will need Go language installed on your system. Ref: https://golang.org/doc/install

   git clone https://github.com/ashishgalagali/go-git-churn
   cd go-git-churn
   go install github.com/ashishgalagali/go-git-churn
   go build

The --repo flag takes either github URL of the repo in which case it will clone the repo into the local memory and performs the operations, or you can specify the path to the cloned repo on your system. Use "." if the working directory is the repo to be used

   ./go-git-churn --help
   ./go-git-churn --repo https://github.com/ashishgalagali/SWEN610-project 
   /path/to/go-git-churn --repo /path/to/repo 

The output will be written to output_timeStamp.json file in the outputs folder
