## Description

Gitql is a SQL query engine and metadata search tool designed to explore and retrieve information from version control systems. It provides a structured query language that allows users to filter and extract assets from a project history using a formal syntax instead of standard command line interface commands.

The tool operates as an interactive data explorer, featuring a command prompt interface for evaluating repository data in real time. It maps version control entities, such as commits and tags, to virtual relational tables, enabling the execution of sequential queries to audit history and analyze repository metadata.

The system covers wide-ranging capabilities for repository asset retrieval, including the extraction of information from pull requests, issues, and discussions. It also includes mechanisms for repository schema exploration to identify which data tables are available for querying.
