Introduction
Git Unearth is an AI-powered git blame enhancer that helps you understand WHY code was written, not just WHO wrote it.
The Problem
Traditional git blame tells you:
- Who wrote a line
- When it was written
- The commit hash
But it doesn't tell you:
- Why the code exists
- What business requirement drove it
- Whether it's intentional or a workaround
- How it evolved over time
The Solution
Git Unearth traces the decision history of code:
- Data Collection — Parse git commands into structured data
- Semantic Analysis — Group commits, classify intent
- Narrative Generation — Explain with evidence chains and confidence levels
Confidence Levels
| Level | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 🟢 High | Has PR/Issue documentation |
| 🟡 Medium | Clear commit message |
| 🔴 Low | AI inference only |
