In plain words
Git-heatmap is a tool that generates a histogram showing which files in a codebase have been changed most frequently. It visualizes repository history to help developers identify the most actively modified files. The tool is useful for anyone working with Git repositories who wants to understand code change patterns and identify files that may need refactoring or closer attention. It's available as an open-source project on GitHub.
