git-metadata

A Pi extension that provides a git_metadata tool for querying git repository information — branch, remotes, commits, tags, status, contributors, and diff stats.

Install

pi install npm:git-metadata

Or try it temporarily without installing:

pi -e npm:git-metadata

Tool: git_metadata

Actions

Action	Description	Options
summary	Full repo overview — branch, tracking, ahead/behind, dirty/staged/untracked counts, last commit, remote URL	—
branch	Current branch with tracking info and ahead/behind counts	—
remotes	List configured remotes (name + URL)	—
log	Recent commits (hash, author, date, message)	count (default: 10)
tags	Recent tags sorted by creation date	count (default: 10)
status	Working tree status (modified, added, deleted, untracked)	—
contributors	Top contributors by commit count	count (default: 10)
diff_stat	Changed files with insertions/deletions vs a ref	ref (default: HEAD~1)

Examples

The LLM will use this tool automatically when you ask about your git repo. You can also be specific:

• "What's the status of my repo?" → triggers summary
• "Show me the last 20 commits" → triggers log with count: 20
• "Who are the top contributors?" → triggers contributors
• "What changed since the last tag?" → triggers diff_stat with ref: <last-tag>

Custom TUI Rendering

All results have compact and expanded views. Toggle expanded view to see full details (commit lists, contributor bars, file-by-file diff stats).

Development

Test locally:

cd git-metadata
pi -e ./extensions/git-metadata.ts
