3. Ode to Spot 2016-11-16

   Felix Catus is your taxonomic nomenclature, An endothermic quadroped, carnivorous by nature. Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses. I find myself intrigued by your sub-vocal oscillations, A singular development of cat communications That obviates your basic hedonistic predelection For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection. A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents: You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance; And when not being utilitized to aid in locomotion, It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion. Oh Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display Connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array. And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend, I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend. -- Lt. Cmdr. Data, "An Ode to Spot"

   Uses a project or repository's history to plot user contributions, displaying an elegant, colored graph of the file arborescence.

   After running it on quite different projects...

   • Python/Bash CI/Jenkins scripts
   • Qt apps: GoldenDict, Psi+
   • PHP website: Shaarli

   ...watching some vids on teh intartubez:

   • Minecraft: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRjTyRly5WA
   • Linux kernel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhDiYPLo3p4
   • Python: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNBtDstOTmA

   It allows to arbitrary spot some interesting implementation aspects (sorted by descending impact):

   • language-dependent trees (oh hai Java packages ^^)
   • framework-dependent trees
   • project-management method (none, Agile, TDD)

   Having a graphical tool also quickly shows:

   • the overall structure of the project (a bit cooler than a simple $ tree, way quicker than loading the project on an IDE)
   • the repartition of files (by extensions)
   • who are the most active contributors
   • what are the most modified files over time
   • who does what: additions, deletions, refactoring

   Some more CI-related matters:

   • are there any tests?
   • what is the source code / test code ratio? (we could expect a project/lib with N modules to have at least N test modules)
   • who initiates / implements / optimizes test code?
