Via Hacker News today was The Git Commands I Run Before Reading Any Code. I made a git-rep.sh script based on these:
#!/bin/bash
# 2026-04-09 jj5 - SEE: https://piechowski.io/post/git-commands-before-reading-code/
main() {
set -euo pipefail;
report 'What Changes the Most';
git log --format=format: --name-only --since="1 year ago" | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -20;
report 'Who Built This';
git shortlog -sn --no-merges;
report 'Where Do Bugs Cluster';
git log -i -E --grep="fix|bug|broken" --name-only --format='' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -20;
report 'Is This Project Accelerating or Dying';
git log --format='%ad' --date=format:'%Y-%m' | sort | uniq -c;
report 'How Often Is the Team Firefighting';
git log --oneline --since="1 year ago" | grep -iE 'revert|hotfix|emergency|rollback';
}
report() {
echo;
echo "$1":
echo;
}
main "$@";
