Description

Hello,

I have a suggestion. Now "git summary" is working well but it has only a little use as it cannot filtered out file types in a project. For example, I work for a ruby on rails project, and it contains a lot of vendor files which are not created by our team, but it must exists in the repo as we might change a little bit on them such as color and fonts. Our major work are on *.rb files an *.erb files and *.js files and *.css files.

So if the summary accepts to filter file types. I think it will be helpful.

Thanks!

Research direction

Start by locating the git summary command and reading how it currently selects files and parses arguments. Define a file-type filter for the requested extensions, then verify that the summary excludes non-matching files while preserving existing behavior.
