Tilation / git-analyzer

A visual and extensible git repository analyzer

Git Analyzer

This software was made to have a more visual way of doing GIT things.

🆗 What you can do with this software:

• View the historic list of files in a repository, showing path, file size, and git hash id. This is useful for cleaning repositories alongside bfg repo cleaner, copy and paste the file hash ids into a file and then purge using that file.
• View commit count per author.
• View the historic list of directories in a repository.
• Extend this software, yes you can write your own plugins and commands using C#, there is a specific zip file in the releases where you have a solution already configured for plugin development.

✅ Done:

• Branch selection for modules.
• Enable different GIT repos per module.

📅 Planned:

• More actions.
• Better plugin framework.

⚒️ Creating plugins 🛠️

Once you run the aplication, a folder called /modules will be created, you need to put the dll plugins there.

To create a plugin you require a few things:

• 🧰 Visual Studio
• 🧠 C# Knowledge & intermediate OOP

Steps:

1. ⬇️ Download and extract the latest release of the plugin creation solution from here
2. 📁 Open the file Plugins.sln with visual studio.
3. 🆕 Create the proyect for your plugin File > New > Proyect and select Class Library (.Net Framework) In the next window, choose a name for your plugin and in the Solution option, choose Add to Solution and choose .Net Framework 4.7.2
4. 🔗 Inside your proyect in the Solution Explorer, right click References and add a proyect reference to GitAnalyzer.Modules.
5. ✍️ Now you can start writing a plugin, note that all plugins must implement BaseModule for the software to recognize it as a plugin, so have at least one class that implement it.
6. 🕵️ Check out the classes in GitAnalyzer.Modules to see what you can do, specifically the protected ones at GitAnalyzer.Modules.BaseModule
