git-code-debt

A dashboard for monitoring code debt in a git repository.

Installation

pip install git-code-debt

Usage

Basic / tl;dr Usage

# Create tables
$ git-code-debt-create-tables database.db
# Generate code metric data (substitute your own repo path)
$ git-code-debt-generate git://github.com/asottile/git-code-debt database.db
# Start the server
$ git-code-debt-server database.db

Updating data on an existing database

Adding data to the database is as simple as running generate again. git-code-debt will pick up in the git history from where data was generated previously.

# (substitute your own repo path)
$ git-code-debt-generate git://github.com/asottile/git-code-debt database.db

Creating your own metrics

  1. Create a python project which adds git-code-debt as a dependency.
  2. Create a package where you'll write your metrics
  3. Pass your package(s) as positional argument(s) to git-code-debt-create-tables as well as git-code-debt-generate.

The simplest way to write your own custom metrics is to extend git_code_debt.metrics.base.SimpleLineCounterBase

Here's what the base class looks like

class SimpleLineCounterBase(DiffParserBase):
    # ...

    def should_include_file(self, file_diff_stat):
        """Implement me to return whether a filename should be included.
        By default, this returns True.

        :param FileDiffStat file_diff_stat:
        """
        return True

    def line_matches_metric(self, line, file_diff_stat):
        """Implement me to return whether a line matches the metric.

        :param bytes line: Line in the file
        :param FileDiffStat file_diff_stat:
        """
        raise NotImplementedError

Here's an example metric

from git_code_debt.metrics.base import SimpleLineCounterBase


class Python__init__LineCount(SimpleLineCounterBase):
    def should_include_file(self, file_diff_stat):
        return file_diff_stat.filename == b'__init__.py'

    def line_matches_metric(self, line, file_diff_stat):
        # All lines in __init__.py match
        return True

More complex metrics can extend DiffParserBase

class DiffParserBase(object):
    """Generates metrics from git show"""
    # Specify __metric__ = False to not be included (useful for base classes)
    __metric__ = False

    def get_metrics_from_stat(self, commit, file_diff_stats):
        """Implement me to yield Metric objects from the input list of
        FileStat objects.

        Args:
            commit - Commit object
            file_diff_stats - list of FileDiffStat objects

        Returns:
           generator of Metric objects
        """
        raise NotImplementedError

    def get_possible_metric_ids(self):
        raise NotImplementedError
