| # Tracking Git Repository Health with Metrics: Insights and Challenges |
| |
| In today's fast-paced development environment, maintaining the health and performance of a Git repository is crucial yet often overlooked. |
| Repositories can grow large and complex, and without proper oversight, they can severely impact the efficiency of development teams. |
| In this talk, we'll dive into two essential tools—the [Git Repo Metrics Plugin](1) and the [GHS Metrics Collector Plugin](2) — which help in |
| tracking the dimensions, shape, and performance of your repository. |
| |
| We'll explore the inherent challenges in monitoring repository growth and understanding how it affects performance. |
| From slowing down CI pipelines to increasing clone and fetch times, the effects can compound |
| quickly without early detection. By leveraging these plugins, we can gain a clearer |
| understanding of the repository’s state, allowing us to make informed decisions on repository maintenance and optimization. |
| Join me as we uncover how these tools empower developers and DevOps teams to |
| keep their repositories lean, fast, and scalable. |
