GENGO-GIT(1)

✨ GENGO-GIT ✨

okay bestie, so this is gengo-git from the gengo manual (section 1, user commands, for the record 💅) — it's the lil command that analyzes a git repository and tells you what's in there. yes, the whole repo. languages, stats, the works. it's giving code census energy and honestly? obsessed. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

gengo git — analyze a git repository 🦋

---

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

gengo git [OPTIONS]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. options only, no positional args, we keep it clean ✨

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -R, --repository REPOSITORY — the path to the repo you wanna analyze. where does it live, bestie? point at it. [default: .] 💖
• -r, --rev REVISION — which git revision to look at. like, which moment in the repo's timeline are we checking. [default: HEAD] ⭐
• -l, --read-limit READ_LIMIT — the max number of bytes to read from each file, no cap. fr fr this one matters, because huge files can absolutely tank your performance, so this is your little safety blanket 🧚

the format is in bytes. the default is 1 MiB.

[default: 1048576]

• -a, --all — report on all files, even the ones that aren't detectable. yes, even those ones. nothing gets left out 🫶

heads up: this only applies to the pretty format, because machine-readable formats always include all files anyway. iykyk 💅

• -b, --breakdown — include detailed statistics for each language. the receipts, the per-language tea, all of it 🌈

same deal: this only applies to the pretty format, since machine-readable formats always include detailed statistics already. no double-dipping 💖

[default: auto]

possible values:

• auto: automatically detect if colors are supported
• always: always use colors
• ansi: use only the 8 ANSI colors
