mergestat-lite is a Go-based command-line tool that lets you run SQL queries against git repositories and related data sources like the GitHub API. It treats commit history and file contents as queryable tables, and includes higher-level commands like `summarize commits` for generating reports without writing SQL.

Use cases

• query git commit history with sql
• count commits by author across repositories
• analyze codebase dependencies like go.mod versions
• generate commit activity reports for a repo
• audit repository contents and configuration files
• run ad-hoc analytics on source code from the command line
• export git repository data as or csv

When to choose

• you want to ask ad-hoc questions about git history or repo contents without writing shell scripts
• you prefer SQL over chaining git commands and grep
• you need to pipe repository data into other tools via /csv output
• you want quick status checks or summaries of a codebase

When to avoid

• you need a persistent, scheduled sync of many repos into a database (use the full MergeStat platform instead)
• you need a GUI or hosted dashboard for code analytics
• you only need simple git log queries that plain git commands already handle
