NAME

       analizo-metrics-batch - processes several source code directories in batch

USAGE

         analizo metrics-batch [OPTIONS] [<input> [<input> ...]]

DESCRIPTION

       Processes several source code directories in batch running analizo metrics for each and
       optionally consolidating the results in a single data file.

       analizo metrics-batch is useful when you want to analyze several projects at once, or
       several different versions of the same project. You pass a list of directories in the
       command line and each one will be analyzed as a separate project. If no directories are
       passed in the command line, all of the subdirectories of the current directory will be
       analized.

       For example, suppose you want to process 5 consecutive releases of myproject, from version
       0.1.0 to 0.5.0.

       •   First you unpack the release tarballs for those versions in a directory, say
           /tmp/analysis:

             $ ls -1 /tmp/analysis
             myproject-0.1.0
             myproject-0.2.0
             myproject-0.3.0
             myproject-0.4.0
             myproject-0.5.0

       •   Then you change to that directory, and then run analizo metrics-batch:

             $ cd /tmp/analysis
             $ analizo metrics-batch

       •   analizo metrics-batch will collect the metrics data in a single .csv file, that you
           can import in spreadsheet software or statistical packages.

       analizo metrics-batch is part of the analizo suite.

OPTIONS

       --parallel N, -p N
           Activates support for parallel processing, using N concurrent worker processes.
           Usually you will want N to be less than or equal to the number of CPUs in your
           machine.

           Note that analizo metrics extraction is a CPU-intensive process, so setting N as the
           exactly number of CPUs you have may bring your machine to an unusable state.

       --output <file>, -o <file>
           Write output to <file>. Default is to write to metrics.csv. That file can then be
           opened in data analysis programs.

       --quiet, -q
           Suppresses messages to standard output.
