Rewind is a small collection of bash and Ruby scripts for analyzing git repository history. It generates per-file statistics (lines of code, commit counts, first/last commit dates) and authorship tallies that can be exported to CSV for spreadsheet analysis.

Use cases

• analyze which files are most important in a git project's history
• generate per-file commit and line-count statistics as CSV
• tally authorship events per developer in a repository
• identify hotspots in a codebase by commit frequency
• sort project files by importance metrics in a spreadsheet

When to choose

• you want quick, simple git history reports without installing heavy tooling
• you prefer scripts whose output you can open directly in a spreadsheet app
• you need a lightweight way to gauge file importance or author contribution

When to avoid

• you need maintained tooling with active support or updates
• you are analyzing extremely large repositories with very long histories, where it may be very slow
• you need per-author analysis across multiple file types at once
