Repo Audit — Deep Analysis of Git History
Perform three-dimensional analysis on a Git repository: hotspot file detection, code ownership analysis, and secret leak scanning.
Feature Overview
1. Hotspot File Analysis (scripts/hotfiles.sh)
Identify the most frequently changed files in a repository to help spot:
- High-risk code areas (frequent changes = potential instability)
- Files that deserve extra attention during code review
- Modules that may need splitting or refactoring
Usage:
bash scripts/hotfiles.sh [options]
| Option | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
--repo PATH |
Repository path | Current directory |
--top N |
Show top N files | 20 |
--since DATE |
Start date (e.g. 2024-01-01) |
None |
--until DATE |
End date | None |
--author AUTHOR |
Filter by author | None |
--format FORMAT |
Output format: table / csv / json |
table |
2. Code Ownership Analysis (scripts/ownership.sh)
Analyze actual code ownership, reporting for each contributor within the specified scope:
- Commit count and percentage
- Lines changed (additions/deletions)
- Last active date
Usage:
bash scripts/ownership.sh [options]
| Option | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
--repo PATH |
Repository path | Current directory |
--path SUBPATH |
Analyze a specific subdirectory or file | Entire repo |
--top N |
Show top N contributors | 10 |
--since DATE |
Start date | None |
--format FORMAT |
Output format: table / csv / json |
table |
3. Secret Leak Scanning (scripts/secret-scan.sh)
Scan the full Git history (including deleted commits) for common secrets and sensitive information:
- AWS Access Key / Secret Key
- GitHub / GitLab / Slack Tokens
- SSH Private Keys
- Generic API Keys, passwords, and secret patterns
Usage:
bash scripts/secret-scan.sh [options]
| Option | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
--repo PATH |
Repository path | Current directory |
--branch BRANCH |
Scan a specific branch | All branches |
--since DATE |
Start date | None |
--format FORMAT |
Output format: table / csv / json |
table |
--severity LEVEL |
Minimum severity level: low / medium / high |
low |
Use Cases
- Security audits: Scan history for leaked secrets before deploying to production
- Code review optimization: Identify hotspot files and prioritize reviewing high-risk areas
- Team collaboration: Understand who knows which parts of the code best, and assign reviews accordingly
- Tech debt assessment: Frequently changed files are strong candidates for refactoring
