Tracking Code Changes with Git Hooks: A Data-Driven Approach to Development

This article presents a method for tracking code modification time using Git hooks to provide a more objective measure of development efficiency. By recording the time from branch creation to merge, excluding thinking time, it offers a clearer reflection of actual coding time. This approach helps teams identify and address inefficiencies in code maintenance, such as excessively long maintenance times for certain components, or efficiency gains from AI tools. The ultimate goal is to optimize the development process, reduce entropy, and boost team productivity through data-driven insights rather than subjective estimations.
