diffhouse 0.0.1

Commit history analysis library.

diffhouse

diffhouse is a commit history analysis tool for Python. It extracts tabular commit data from a git repository via git log.

diffhouse currently provides data for main-branch commits only.

Requirements

Git version 2.19 or greater.

Quick start

1. Install diffhouse with pip:

pip install diffhouse

2. Import the Repo class in Python:

from diffhouse import Repo

3. Create a Repo instance with the git repository URL as an argument. Commit data will automatically be loaded into its commits property as a pandas DataFrame:

r = Repo('https://github.com/user/name.git')
r.commits.head()
