Apply these identity mappings to your configuration? [Y/n]: y
✅ Applied identity mappings to configuration- Start with a subset of repositories
- Use 4-8 weeks for initial analysis
- Review identity suggestions carefully
- Build up preferences gradually
- Use
gitflow-analytics runfor regular analysis - Let preferences save time
- Run identity analysis weekly
- Clear cache when config changes
- Review high confidence (🟢) suggestions first
- Be cautious with medium confidence (🟡)
- Check full report for rejected clusters
- Add manual mappings for known duplicates
- Use launcher to select active repos only
- Skip identity analysis if recently run
- Clear cache when you need fresh data
- Use smaller week ranges for faster results
