Context

Branches are historically used to help develop teams on coordinating their parallel development through version control systems tools (ex.Git). BranchAnalyzer help developers to retrieve the frequency of textual conflicts by branch. Thus, providing empirical information about repository

Objective

Retrieve the frequency of textual conflicts by branch.

Installation

Getting code

git clone https://github.com/jfsc/jgitconflict.git 

Open on intelliJ

Running study

Open file src/main/java/com/fish/branchanalyzer/ConflictFrequency.java

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, GitAPIException {
        FileRepositoryBuilder repositoryBuilder = new FileRepositoryBuilder();
        String repoFolderPath = "{REPOSITORY PATH}/.git";
...

Choose the intervall in the same file

...
 RevWalk walk = new RevWalk(repository);
            Date since = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse("2017-09-17");
            Date until = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").parse("2017-09-28");

Finally, build and run.
