About:
GitSizer analyzes Git repositories to compute comprehensive size and count metrics for various objects like blobs, trees, commits, and tags. It helps identify repository bloat and performance bottlenecks by reporting statistics in a human-readable format. The tool is particularly useful for maintaining large or long-lived repositories.

Key Features:

Computes over 50 different size and count metrics
Reports statistics in a human-readable, hierarchical format
Identifies repository bloat and potential performance issues
Fast and efficient, even on very large repositories

Use Cases:

Diagnosing why a Git repository has become slow or large
Identifying large files or trees that can be removed or optimized
Monitoring repository health and size growth over time

Alternatives:

git-duvet – Similar goal, but git-duvet focuses more on visualizing changes between commits rather than static size analysis.
git-imerge – Focuses on performing incremental merges, not on analyzing repository size metrics.
