"GitClear found copy-pasted lines rising from 8.3% of code changes in 2020 to 12.3% in 2024, while moved lines declined from 24.8% in 2021 to 9.5% in 2024."
GitClear's change-operation data show more copying and less code movement, the latter serving as a proxy for refactoring. These findings support concern that code-generation volume can grow without corresponding consolidation and reuse.
