Plot stats on Git repositories with interactive Plotly charts

Better Git of Theseus

中文版

Better Git of Theseus is a modern refactor of the original git-of-theseus. It provides a fully interactive Web Dashboard powered by Streamlit and Plotly, making it easier than ever to visualize how your code evolves over time.

Key Enhancements

• 🚀 One-Click Visualization: New better-git-of-theseus command automatically scans your project and launches a Web UI.
• 📊 Interactive Charts: Replaced static Matplotlib plots with Plotly. Support for zooming, panning, and detailed data hovers.
• 🧠 In-Memory Processing: Data flows directly in memory. No more mandatory intermediate .json files cluttering your repo.
• ⚡ Smart Caching: Leverages Streamlit's caching to make repeat analysis of large repos nearly instantaneous.
• 🎨 Modern UI: Adjust parameters (Cohort format, ignore rules, normalization, etc.) in real-time via the sidebar.

Installation

Install via pip:

pip install better-git-of-theseus

Quick Start

Run the following in any Git repository:

better-git-of-theseus

It will automatically open your browser to the interactive dashboard.

Feature Highlights

Cohort Formatting

Customize how commits are grouped by year, month, or week (based on Python strftime):

• %Y: Group by Year (Default)
• %Y-%m: Group by Month
• %Y-W%W: Group by Week

Real-time Parameters

Adjust parameters like "Max Series", "Normalization", and "Exponential Fit" directly in the Web UI without re-running any commands.

FAQ

• Duplicate Authors? Configure a .mailmap file in your repo root to merge identities.
• Performance? First-time analysis of very large repos (like the Linux Kernel) may take time, but subsequent views are extremely fast due to caching.
