| name | basemind-git-history |
| description | Explore git history without shelling out to git — recent commits, commits touching a path, per-line and per-symbol blame, structural diffs across revisions, churn ranking, and a symbol's history over time. Reach for it whenever the user asks "what changed recently", "who last touched this", "when did this symbol change", "what's the diff between these revs", or "where's the churn". |
basemind-git-history — git intelligence over the index
basemind indexes git history and resolves blame and diffs at symbol resolution, backed by a
gix history index. History queries return commits, authors, paths, and line/symbol attributions —
structured and capped — for a fraction of the cost of parsing git log / git blame output.
basemind first, naked git fallback. Prefer these tools over shelling out to git log,
git blame, or git diff. Drop to raw git only when no tool covers the question (e.g. staging,
rebasing, anything that mutates history).
Tool routing
| Question | MCP tool | CLI |
|---|
| "What changed recently?" | git { mode: "recent" } | basemind git recent [--limit N] |
| "Which commits touched path P?" | git { mode: "touching", path: P } | basemind git touching P |
| "Path-filtered commit log?" | git { mode: "by_path", pattern: P } | basemind git by-path P |
| "When did symbol X last change?" | git { mode: "symbol_history", path: F, name: X } |
