## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: abandoned
- function: developer-tools, analytics
- domain: version-control, developer-tools
- platform: cli
- tags: git, git-history, code-analysis, shell-scripts, ruby, csv-export, command-line, macos, linux
