Git Log Heatmap

Use git log
to create a heatmap of the files that have been changed the most frequently within a repository.
This is useful to identify the files that most likely need a closer look.
For example, the file contains too much logic and should be split up into multiple files, it contains hot code paths that change frequently, or maybe it's a file with a history of many fixes.
The following git log
command returns a list of files (excluding json
and lock
files) that have been changed within the last 6 months, sorted by the number of changes.
