Git Extras

git-extras is a collection of command line extensions for Git that provide utilities for managing repositories, analyzing commit history, and automating version control workflows. The suite includes tools for generating automated changelogs from commit history and utilities for identifying and cleaning up merged or stale branches.

The project provides a set of analysis tools to quantify project contributions by calculating commit percentages and author metrics. It further includes capabilities for summarizing repository metadata and state to optimize routine inspections.

The toolset is implemented as a series of portable shell scripts that wrap existing Git commands to extract and format repository data.
