Hercules is a fast, customizable Git repository history analysis tool written in Go, with a companion Python package (labours) for visualization. It computes advanced metrics like project burndown, code ownership, churn matrices, developer couples, and sentiment from commit history.
Use cases
- analyze git repository history for insights
- generate project burndown charts from git history
- measure code ownership and churn over time
- identify coupled files and developers in a codebase
- visualize commit history with tensorboard or matplotlib
- mine software repositories for research
When to choose
- you need fast, large-scale git history mining
- you want burndown, ownership, or churn analytics from git logs
- you are doing empirical software engineering research
When to avoid
- you need real-time repository monitoring
- you only want simple git stats like commit counts
- you need actively developed tooling with frequent updates
