What I learned counting AI co-authored commits across 26,000 of my own

Описание и применение

Автор подсчитал, что 39 % его 26 251 коммита включают AI‑соавторов, используя скрытый в GitHub поисковый квалификатор co-authored-by: с адресом электронной почты и исправил SVG‑рисунки для корректного отображения в публичных репозиториях.

Задача

Determining accurate counts of AI‑co‑authored commits in a large codebase was difficult due to undocumented GitHub search qualifiers, ambiguous co‑author trailers, and image rendering limitations.

Результат

Accurate AI‑co‑authored commit counts (39% overall, 2% public) were achieved by using email‑based search qualifiers, validating against total commits, and correcting SVG rendering for GitHub’s image proxy.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Run git log --format='%b' | grep -c 'Co-Authored-By: Claude' to get local counts.
• 2. Use GitHub CLI: gh api '/search/commits?q=author:USER+co-authored-by:[email protected]&per_page=1' --jq '.total_count' to query GitHub API.
• 3. Verify qualifier works by comparing counts for valid and invented qualifiers.
• 4. Check that total_count is less than total commits to ensure qualifier filtering.
• 5. Use email addresses from actual commit trailers (e.g., [email protected]) instead of display names to avoid false positives.
• 6. Build SVG card rendering counts, ensuring the SVG declares final geometry before animation to support GitHub’s camo proxy.
• 7. Test rendering in environments that ignore SMIL to confirm bars appear correctly.
• 8. Deploy the tool locally in CI so the user’s PAT can access private repos, avoiding the 2% public‑only limitation.
