## What it is
GitStats is a Python-based statistics generator for git repositories that analyzes commit history and produces HTML reports. It generates metrics on activity, authors, files, and lines of code over time.

## Use cases
- generate statistics from a git repository's history
- visualize commit activity by hour, day, month, and year
- see contributor rankings and author activity over time
- track lines of code and file counts over a project's lifetime
- produce an HTML report of repo metrics for a team or project page

## When to choose
- you want a quick, static HTML overview of a git repo's history
- you need per-author and time-based commit activity charts
- you prefer a simple CLI tool with no server or database

## When to avoid
- you need interactive or real-time dashboards
- you need output formats other than HTML
- you want actively developed features or modern charting libraries

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, data-visualization, analytics
- domain: version-control, developer-tools, data-visualization
- platform: cli, python
