This is a submission for the GitHub Copilot CLI Challenge
What I Built
I built DevInsight, a command-line tool that analyzes Git repositories and provides developer productivity insights directly in the terminal.
The tool helps developers quickly understand:
- Project structure and language distribution
- Dependency summaries
- Git activity and commit insights
- Frequently modified files and refactor candidates
- Repository health checks and suggestions
- Automated project reports
The goal of DevInsight is to make it easier to understand the state of a codebase without opening multiple tools or dashboards.
Key features:
- Interactive CLI interface
- Repository analysis and dashboard
- Smart insights based on Git history
- Health scoring and suggestions
- Markdown report generation
The tool is published on npm and can be installed using:
npx @tajsarkar/devinsight
Demo
GitHub Repository:

My Experience with GitHub Copilot CLI
GitHub Copilot CLI helped speed up development by assisting with:
- Generating command structures and CLI flows
- Writing utility functions for file scanning and Git analysis
- Suggesting patterns for handling command inputs and menus
- Improving code organization and reducing repetitive work
It was especially useful when:
- Structuring the CLI commands
- Writing logic to parse files and directories
- Generating boilerplate and refining implementations
Using Copilot CLI made the development process faster and allowed me to focus more on designing useful features rather than writing repetitive code.
