git-digger

Overview

git-digger is a tool designed to analyze git repositories and generate interaction graphs between project maintainers and the git projects they contribute to. This tool aims to provide insights into the knowledge and expertise of code contributors, making it easier to understand the dynamics of software development within your organization or open-source projects.

The generated graph is compatible with Gephi and is based on the GraphML format.

Features

• Scan a folder containing multiple git repositories
• Generate a Gephi-compatible interaction graph
• Filter contributions based on a specific date range
