You calculate the bus factor by analyzing git history to construct a security ownership topology, mapping people-to-file relationships and computing risk metrics for sensitive code. This process exports the ownership data as CSV and GraphML files for graph databases.

A security ownership topology is a graph mapping developers to sensitive files based on git history, detecting orphaned code by identifying critical security components with insufficient or absent ownership. It calculates bus factors to flag high-risk areas needing immediate attention.

Yes, you can export git code ownership data to Neo4j or Gephi by generating CSV and GraphML outputs from the repository analysis. These formats capture the security ownership topology for direct import into graph databases and network visualization tools.

Yes, you need Python 3 and the networkx library to run a git bus factor analysis. Networkx is required for performing the community detection and graph analysis needed to construct the security ownership topology and calculate risk metrics.

The best way to identify sensitive code with a low bus factor is to analyze git history to map file ownership and compute risk metrics, flagging critical security-related files with few owners. This flags orphaned or high-risk code for immediate knowledge sharing.

A limitation of using git history for security risk assessment is that it relies entirely on commit metadata to calculate bus factors and construct ownership topologies. This approach may miss undocumented knowledge sharing or informal code maintenance responsibilities.
