ChangeArcheology

Reconstruct the narrative behind code changes from commit and review history

Code & DevelopmentFreemium

ChangeArcheology reconstructs the decision narrative behind code changes by linking commits to pull requests, code review discussions, issue tracker context, and related documentation changes. The tool builds a timeline showing not just what changed but why alternatives were rejected, what edge cases were discussed, and what future concerns reviewers raised. Engineers inheriting unfamiliar code use it to understand the reasoning that led to current implementations before proposing changes that might repeat previously rejected approaches.
