Biggest commits helps to look after the commits size to identify exceptionally biggest ones, understand tendency and probably reduce their size. Per industry best practices: the smaller commits the better. Big commits create an unnecessary overhead for development teams due to a more expensive code reviews and more expensive troubleshooting if anything got broken after that commit.

metric works

Chart overview

Chart shows Top 20 biggest commits in a selected code repository. Chart can be viewed for the last 7/30/90 days. Names of team members are at Y-axis, size of commits (in a number of  code lines) - X-axis. When hover over a series - a hint appears with the following information available:

• Date/time - the last commit date & time

• Committer name - name of a person who made the commit

• Commit size  - number of lines a commit contains along with a number of deleted and added lines

• Commit comment - the comment left by the author for this commit

• Commit hash - a unique identifier of a commit given by Git

Next to the chart name there is a link to navigate to the GIT repository ('arrow' icon) for further details.Image Removed

Calculation 

A commit size is a count of all modified code lines within it.

If the setting 'Include merge requests into statistics' is selected in GIT configuration the metric values might increase.

RAG thresholds: n/a.

Data Source

Data for the metric can be collected from GIT.
