Our summary
Git records a commit history: a dated sequence of saved code changes. commit-miner helps a reviewer narrow that history by date, author, path, or one change, then exports possible bug and security leads with the evidence behind each label.
The tool applies exact Git filters first. It then sends commit messages and a diff—the lines added and removed—for classification. When a change is very large, truncation means only part of it is sent; binary files also provide little readable evidence.
A model label is a lead, not proof of a vulnerability or fix. Private code can leave the repository for TypeSafe, while missing context or truncation can change a judgment. Review the supporting change before relying on any security label.
Key takeaways
- Narrow the history with exact filters before sending model requests.
- Read the changed lines behind a suggested security label.
- Keep evidence with exported results for later review.
