Inspecting a remote Git repository can reveal a number of information to help determine its health. One of these metrics is the number of issues reported. If a repository has a large number of open issues, it is likely to have a large number of issues that need to be resolved. The number of open issues in a repository is an indication of the number of people using that repository.
How to get a list of issues in a Git repository
You can use the Git status command to get a list of issues.
This will show you all the open issues. Note that it also shows closed issues and whether or not they have been resolved:
$ git status
# On branch master
# Changed but not updated:
# (use "git add
How to Detect If a Repository Has Many Issues
The number of open issues for a Git repository is an indication of the number of people using that repository. This metric can be explored by inspecting the repositories’ git status output. A project with many issues will have many unresolved merge conflicts.
A "merge conflict" occurs when two or more developers want to make changes to the same section of code and cannot agree on how that piece should be changed. One developer might want to change a specific line of code, but another may want to change just part of that line.
Creating an Issue in a Repository
Severity levels are a way of categorizing the importance of bugs in a project. Severity levels range from 1 to 5 where 1 is the highest priority, and 5 is the lowest priority. A high number of open issues may be caused by an overabundance or lack of work.
