git-commit-tracker 0.1.0

A CLI tool to detect which tests are impacted by a git commit.

Git Commit Tracker

Git Commit Tracker is a small CLI utility to determine which tests a given Git commit touches by mapping changed file ranges to test definitions discovered via Tree-sitter ASTs.

Key principles

• AST-first: parse files to locate test definitions and compute exact line ranges.
• Language-driven: pick a parser by file extension and cache parsers for reuse.
• Conservative impact: report tests that overlap changed line ranges (added, removed, or modified).

Quick start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+
• Git

Install for development

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

Install from PyPI

pip install git-commit-tracker

Run the CLI

impact-analyzer --commit <SHA> --repo <PATH_OR_URL>

Common examples

• Analyze a remote repo (auto-clones): impact-analyzer --commit 75cdcc5 --repo https://github.com/example/repo
• Analyze a local repo: impact-analyzer --commit 45433fd --repo ./my-local-project
• Analyze a private repo: impact-analyzer --commit 45433fd --repo https://<your-access-token>@github.com/owner/repo.git

What it detects

• JavaScript / TypeScript: test, it, describe call expressions (including .only, .skip).
• Python: functions named test_*.
• Other languages: extend by adding parsers and detection rules.

Project structure

• src/impact_analyzer/cli.py: CLI entrypoint and repo handling (cloning, temp dirs).
• src/impact_analyzer/engine.py: Main orchestration—diff inspection, parsing, and result formatting.
• src/impact_analyzer/parser.py: Tree-sitter parsing and AST traversal to find tests and ranges.
• src/impact_analyzer/languages.py: Extension-to-parser mapping and parser caching.
• src/impact_analyzer/git_utils.py: Helpers to extract changed line ranges from commit diffs.

Architecture notes

• The CLI resolves the repo (local path or remote URL) and checks out the requested commit.
• git_utils extracts hunks and changed line sets between the commit and its parent.
• Parsers in languages.py are looked up by extension; parser.py walks the AST and emits test identifiers and their line ranges.
• engine.py computes intersections between changed lines and test ranges to produce the final impact report.

Extending the tool

1. Add a Tree-sitter grammar dependency (if needed) and expose it via languages.py.
2. Add detection logic for new test forms in parser.py.
