A dashboard for monitoring code debt in a git repository.
pip install git-code-debt
# required: repository to clone (can be anything `git clone` understands) even
# a repository already on disk
repo: [email protected]:asottile/git-code-debt
# required: database generation path
database: database.db
# optional: default False
skip_default_metrics: false
# optional: default []
metric_package_names: []
# optional: default ^$ (python regex) to exclude paths such as '^vendor/'
exclude: ^$
# Generate code metric data (substitute your own repo path)
$ git-code-debt-generate
# Start the server
$ git-code-debt-server database.db
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.
$ git-code-debt-generate
- Create a python project which adds
git-code-debt
as a dependency. - Create a package where you'll write your metrics
- Add your package to
metric_package_names
in yourgenerate_config.yaml
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):
"""Counts the number of lines in __init__.py"""
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):
# 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_metrics_info(self):
"""Implement me to yield `MetricInfo` objects."""
raise NotImplementedError
