git-activity

git-activity: Record your Git activity across multiple (or all) repos, and read it optionally filtered by date, activity type (e.g. commit, branch creation, etc) regex pattern, repo name regex pattern, branch name regex pattern, commit message regex pattern, and/or commit SHA (first seven characters) regex pattern.

It's sort of like a global git log where you control which repos are watched and what types of activity are recorded.

Useful for

• retroactively filling out a time sheet, or correcting a time sheet when you realize you left one timer running all day

• answering a weekly department "What projects did you work on last week and what did you do on them?" prompt

• finding that time you solved a problem similar to the one you're working on now

The log is stored in a text file. You can run your own programs on it if the git-activity CLI doesn't meet your needs, and you can share it across your computers for a cross-repo cross-machine log.

Quick start

> brew install olets/tap/git-activity
# close the terminal
# open a new terminal
> git activity install --global # just once
# go about your day
> git activity show

And then read up on all the ways you can filter git activity show in the command's documentation.
