GitStats Updates: JSON Export, Code Refactoring, Argparse Migration, and Multi‑Platform Support

Since the previous post, the GitStats project has received several major updates.

New Features and Improvements

JSON file generation : In addition to the existing HTML report, GitStats can now output JSON files, making it easier for developers to integrate the data into custom tools and scripts.

Code refactoring : The codebase has been split and optimized, resulting in a clearer structure that is easier to maintain and provides a solid foundation for unit testing.

Argparse replacement : The deprecated getopt module has been replaced with the modern argparse library, improving readability and maintainability.

Multi‑platform support : GitStats is now tested on Linux, Windows, and macOS via continuous integration, ensuring reliable operation across all three major platforms.

Upcoming Plans

Theme switching : A dark‑mode theme will be added alongside the default theme to accommodate different visual preferences.

Unit tests and coverage : Additional unit tests will be written with a target of reaching 100% test coverage.

Feedback and feature requests are welcomed via the GitHub repository, and users are encouraged to star the project if they find it helpful.
