Abstract

Code changes may be hierarchically clustered to discover coding practices. Code change graphs for changes to code in a source code repository may be clustered according to hierarchy of different features determined for the source code into groups. The code change graphs in the groups may then be indexed according their similarity with other code change graphs in the groups. Then one or more coding practices corresponding to the indexed code changes may be provided.
