I had no idea git metrics could show your best performers

It could put managers out of a job, without AI too, so they prefer to not use it.
What metric shows performance? Lines of code added, deleted, number of commits? None of these are are good measure of quality and actual contribution.
It's a combination of different activity metrics (commits, PRs, comments, etc) with AI thrown in to figure out substance/complexity of the work. I originally thought the summaries were simple metrics without factoring quality. There are products that provide this for github and other tools. E.g. https://getdx.com/
