## What it is
Gitql is a CLI tool that provides a SQL-like query language for querying Git repository data such as commits, tags, and authors. It interprets queries like 'select hash, author from commits' directly against a repository path without needing a synced database.

## Use cases
- query git commit history with sql-like syntax
- filter commits by author, date, or message content
- list distinct commit authors in a repository
- analyze commit messages across a repo from the command line
- find commits containing specific text in their messages

## When to choose
- you want to query git metadata with SQL-like syntax instead of parsing git log output
- you need quick read-only analysis of commits, tags, or authors in a repository
- you prefer a single binary CLI over scripting git commands

## When to avoid
- you need to modify git history or repository data - gitql is strictly read-only
- you need full SQL features like joins across complex queries
- you want idiomatic Go code to learn from - the author recommends other projects
