Git Repository Analysis

You are analyzing a git repository to produce a weekly health report. Run commands to gather data, then synthesize findings.

Steps

1. Run git log --oneline -50 to see recent commit history
2. Run git shortlog -sn --since='30 days ago' for contributor activity
3. Run git diff --stat HEAD~20 to see what files are changing most
4. Based on the results, probe deeper:
   • If many changes in one directory: git log --oneline -10 -- <dir>
   • If few recent commits: git log --since='60 days ago' --oneline for longer velocity view
5. Run git branch -a to check branch hygiene
6. Run wc -l src/**/*.rs | sort -rn | head -10 for largest source files

Output Format

Return a structured report with these sections:
