Description

@SurpSG

Goal

Get delta-coverage listed on curated "awesome" lists — high-traffic GitHub repos that developers browse when evaluating tools. These are zero-maintenance, ongoing visibility.

Prep

  • Set GitHub repo description: "Gradle plugin and CLI for computing code coverage of new/modified code based on a diff"
  • Add GitHub topics: code-coverage, gradle-plugin, jacoco, kotlin, java, diff, intellij-coverage

Submissions

Tier 1 — High visibility, actively maintained

  • awesome-java (47K stars)
    Section: Code Coverage (between Cobertura and JaCoCo, alphabetical)
    Format: - [Delta Coverage](https://github.com/gw-kit/delta-coverage-plugin) - Computes code coverage of new and modified code based on a provided diff, supporting JaCoCo and IntelliJ coverage engines.
    Rules: MIT license OK. PR must justify via criteria (d) "fills a gap" — no other tool does diff-based coverage. Self-promotion allowed if criteria match.

  • awesome-kotlin (11K stars)
    Section: Libraries > Tools (next to kotlinx-kover)
    Format: Kotlin DSL in src/main/resources/links/Libraries.awesome.kts

    link {
      github = "gw-kit/delta-coverage-plugin"
      desc = "Gradle plugin that computes code coverage of new/modified code based on a diff. Supports JaCoCo and IntelliJ coverage engines."
      setTags("coverage", "code coverage", "jacoco", "diff", "gradle-plugin")
      setPlatforms(JVM)
    }
  • awesome-test-automation (7K stars)
    Section: java-test-automation.md > Code analysis and coverage
    Format: * [Delta Coverage](https://github.com/gw-kit/delta-coverage-plugin) - Gradle plugin and CLI that computes code coverage of new and modified code based on a provided diff. Supports JaCoCo and IntelliJ coverage engines.

Tier 2 — Worth submitting

  • dynamic-analysis (1K stars)
    Format: YAML file data/tools/delta-coverage.yml

    name: delta-coverage
    categories:

    description: >-
      Gradle plugin and CLI tool that computes code coverage of new and modified
      code based on a provided diff. Supports JaCoCo and IntelliJ coverage
      engines. Generates HTML, console, markdown, and XML reports for changed
      code only. Enforces coverage thresholds on new lines.
  • awesome-gradle (481 stars, likely abandoned — last merge Jan 2020)
    Section: Code quality
    Format: - [delta-coverage-plugin](https://github.com/gw-kit/delta-coverage-plugin) - Compute code coverage of new and modified code based on a diff, supporting JaCoCo and IntelliJ coverage engines.

Skipped lists

List Stars Why skip
awesome-testing 2.2K Explicitly excludes unit test / coverage tools
awesome-ci 4K Lists CI platforms, not build plugins
awesome-actions 27K For GitHub Actions, not Gradle plugins
awesome-code-review 4.9K Code review process, not coverage
awesome-devops 3.9K Infrastructure tools, no code quality section

Tips

  • Read each list's CONTRIBUTING.md before submitting
  • Keep descriptions concise and factual — no marketing copy
  • Highlight the diff-based angle as the differentiator from JaCoCo/Cobertura
  • Link submitted PRs back to this issue for tracking
