git time

  • How much does that feature cost? git time src/feature/path
  • What did I do today? git time --me -v --since=yesterday
  • Did we invoice everything? git time -v --since="end of last month"

The -v gives you a nice table showing the time spend on each commit.

Installation

Works best as global composer package:

composer global require sourcerer-mike/git-time

# Do you have your composer bin accessible? If not ...
echo 'PATH=$PATH:~/.config/composer/vendor/bin' >> ~/.bashrc

or local installation per project (composer require sourcerer-mike/git-time:dev-master). You might like to add ~/.config/composer/vendor/bin/ to your PATH variable in Bash ;)

Estimate the time taken on a project or feature

Check how long you took for that?

git-time estimate src/my-feature/foo.php

# or for a specific time range
git-time estimate 13ea7dd..HEAD

# or both
git-time estimate 13ea7dd..HEAD  src/my-feature/foo.php

# for a particular time range (e.g. today) and a single author(maybe for you to clock at work)
git-time estimate -v --since 00:00 --author "Mike Pretzlaw"

The result will be shown in a table:

+---------+------------------+------------------------------------------+-------------+-------------+

Might be all. Did I miss something?

How it works

Imagine you run git time -v on these commits:

Initial commit              second                 third          fourth
            |                  |                     |               |
            |--- 10 minutes ---|------ ~7 days ------|-- 3 minutes --|
            |                  |                     |               |
last week 12:00              12:10           today 10:20           10:23
            |                  |                     |               |
            |--- 10 minutes ---|---- 30 minutes -----|-- 3 minutes --|
            |                  |  limited to maximum |               |
 Total of 43 minutes

The limit can be changed using git time --max=60 (minutes) and there is even more about this:

  • The initial commit itself will count as one minute. You don't really need long for opening a GIT repo. If so change this time via --no-parent-time and set it to hours if you take that long ;)
  • From initial commit to second it took you 10 minutes. That's okay, we add that and have 11 minutes in total now.
  • But from second to third you fell asleep and continue to work one week (or day) later. This is a gap of days but git-time limits this down to 30 minutes. If you don't like this limit then change it via the --max option.
  • The last and fourth commit is easy. Just 3 minutes after the previous one which makes it 44 minutes in total for this project. Pretty small one.

Providing the -v flag will give you a cleaner nicer look at this:

| d2c50ce | today 10:20      | third                |         30m |         41m |
