About:
GQL is a query language that allows you to execute SQL-like queries directly on Git repository data, such as commits, branches, and tags. It provides a powerful and intuitive way to extract insights and perform complex analysis on version control history without needing custom scripts. This tool significantly simplifies how developers interact with and understand their project's evolution.
Key Features:
  • SQL-like syntax for querying Git data
  • Supports querying commits, branches, tags, and files
  • Cross-platform compatibility (Windows, macOS, Linux)
  • Available as a CLI tool and a library
Use Cases:
  • Analyzing commit history and contributor activity
  • Generating reports on project development trends
  • Searching for specific changes across repository history
Alternatives:
  • git log – GQL provides a more structured, SQL-based approach, whereas git log relies on custom formatting and is less flexible for complex data aggregation.
  • gitql – GQL is a more modern and actively maintained implementation, often with broader platform support and a richer feature set.
