Comment on Show HN: FixCache – keep track of bug-prone files from Git commit historyparent

Comments

The bugs are detected only from keyword matching in bug fix commits. The "FIX_KEY_WORDS" are fix key words in a fix-commit.

You set up a branch to track ("TRACKED_BRANCH") commits on (its 'master' by default). A history of commits, from last 30 days by default, is extracted from that branch on installation and bug fixes are detected from commit messages.

After installation, the app subscribes to push events (pull request merges are also push events) on the "tracked_branch" .On every push to the tracked branch, all the commits in the push are checked for bug-fix commits and the file cache is updated accordingly if there are any bug-fix commits.
