## Description

git-quick-stats is a command-line tool for calculating commit counts, line changes, and contributor metrics from Git history. It functions as a repository statistics tool, metrics generator, and contribution analyzer that extracts quantitative data from Git logs.

The tool distinguishes itself through the ability to generate frequency maps and activity trends to visualize development momentum over time. It provides specific controls to isolate project history by toggling the visibility of merge commits.

The software covers a broad range of analytics, including contributor impact tracking and project activity auditing. These analyses can be refined using timeframe-based history filtering and path-based scope restrictions to exclude specific directories or files.
