Comparing two versions of your code

When you are working on a project, you may want to compare two versions of your code to see how the complexity has evolved over time.

With AST Metrics, you can use the --compare-with option to compare two versions of your code.

ast-metrics analyze --compare-with=main

This command will compare the current branch with the main branch. You can replace main with any branch, tag, or commit hash.

Reviewing a pull request?

To review the changes of a branch or pull request, ast-metrics review is usually the better choice: it reports only new or worsened findings. --compare-with is meant for comparing two full versions of the project.
