Code health

7.9out of 10Good

This codebase scores 7.9 out of 10 for code health, which we rate good. It also scores maintainability 8.0 and static performance 9.8 out of 10. The three are scored separately and never blended into one number. Risk is concentrated, as it usually is: 49 of 508 files are git hotspots, and they average 6.6 — which is where the fixes pay off most.

How knifelemon/filee works

Input enters filee through the desktop application in src/Filee.App/Program.cs, the filee command through src/Filee.Cli/Program.cs, or the CLI implementation in src/Filee.Cli/Cli.cs. The application presents compatible formats in a donut menu at the cursor and accepts dragged files, while the CLI accepts conversion and watch commands. Conversion engines process files using presets and optional engines selected for particular formats. src/Filee.Core/Settings/UserDataStore.cs stores user settings and related data. The src/Filee.Engines module provides conversion functionality, and tests in tests cover application rendering, stored user data, media conversion, and CLI behavior. Results are written next to the original file unless an output folder or other destination is selected.

The codebase has 508 files and 10,157 symbols in 4 modules, led by C#, Python and Shell. Code health is 7.9 out of 10, rated good.
