Hello everyone! Since my last post announcing the start of maintaining gitstats, I’ve been continuously improving this project. Here are the major updates over the past two months:

✨ New Features and Improvements
#

  1. Support for Generating JSON Files In addition to the original HTML report, gitstats can now generate JSON files! Use Case: Facilitates secondary development or programmatic use for developers, meeting more customized needs. Origin: This feature was implemented quickly based on user feedback.

  2. Code Refactoring A significant amount of refactoring and optimization has been performed on the previously mixed code. Benefits: The code structure is clearer and easier to maintain, laying the foundation for writing unit tests.

  3. Replacing getopt The deprecated getopt has been replaced with the more modern argparse. Advantages: Improves code readability and maintainability.

  4. Cross-Platform Support In addition to Linux, gitstats has now been fully tested on Windows and macOS. Testing: I’ve conducted thorough testing on all three platforms to ensure real-time availability.

📅 Next Steps
#

  1. Support for Theme Switching In addition to the default theme, I plan to add a Dark Mode, catering to different user visual preferences.

  2. Unit Testing and Coverage Unit tests will be added, and coverage will be increased to 100% (a small goal) to prevent regression bugs.
