Intro

This demo will walk through using the mdb-code-insights tool to analyze a git repository. If you want to follow along, be sure to have the tool installed and configured.

The demo will walk through an analysis of the mongodb/mongo repository, but the steps should work with any git repository.

For this demo, we will store our configuration in a file called “config.yml”. It should look similar to this (feel free to customize it to your liking):

mongo_uri: mongodb://localhost:27017
database: code_insights
collection: mongo

Throughout this demo, we will use MongoDB’s Aggregation Framework to explore the data. Most of the aggregation can be run via the mongodb-code-insights tool, but if you would like to run them manually or tweak them, you may want to have a mongo client available.

MongoDB Compass, mongosh or any other mongo client should work for the examples in this demo.

We will start by loading our git data into mongo.
