Calculation Formula

For a given time period (TStart, TEnd):

Innovation Rate (%) = (Σ {new lines of code per commit} / Σ {total lines of code per commit}) × 100

Where:

• Σ {new lines of code per commit} represents the sum of newly added lines of code in each commit (insertions).

• Σ {total lines of code per commit} represents the total number of lines of code (insertions and deletions) in each commit.

Trend

An increasing Innovation Rate is a positive trend.
