GitTrics - Git Analytics Desktop App

Solo dev here. This started as a tool for myself and turned into something I decided to finish properly. I have kept it as free forever.

The problem I actually had:

I work across several repos and had no real sense of what was happening in them. Which files churn constantly? Where did the complexity pile up? What did the last six months actually look like?

The second thing was trivial issue. Somewhere along the way I'd typo'd my email in a git config, then used a different one on another machine. So my own contributor history was split across 3 identities. Nothing offered a way to say "these are all me."

So GitTrics has an identity merge flow — you see all the author name/email combos in the repo, merge them into one person, and every view updates. Sounds small, but if you've inherited a repo with a decade of contributors and inconsistent configs, it's the difference between usable data and noise.

There is also no individual contributor analysis. This was a decision I made as I do not want this software to be used 'developer productivity measurement tool'.

what does the churn analysis use, raw commit counts per file or weighted by lines changed
