changeguard

Short source control history

The source code repository for changeguard has less than a year of continuous activity. This likely is a relatively new project.

A short history is not necessarily a bad thing (all projects have to start somewhere!) but often, newer projects are changing rapidly and are thus less stable. They are also often innovative and exciting!

As this project matures, a longer source control history in conjunction with recent activity might indicate that the project has enough merit to hold contributors' interest for a long time. It might indicate a mature and relatively bug-free code base, and can be a sign of an organized, dedicated development team.

Note: The source code for changeguard might actually be older than the source control history can reveal. Many new projects begin by incorporating a large amount of source code from existing, older projects. You might be able to tell whether this is the case by looking for a rapid rise in the amount of code early in the project's history.

Average number of code comments

changeguard is written mostly in shell script.

Across all shell script projects on Open Hub, 15% of all source code lines are comments.

This holds true for changeguard as well. It contains the same ratio of comment lines to code lines as the majority of shell script projects in Open Hub.

A high number of comments might indicate that the code is well-documented and organized, and could be a sign of a helpful and disciplined development team.

Only a single active developer

During the past twelve months, this project has had only one active contributor.

Over half of all active projects on Open Hub are solo efforts.
