Summary
Yesterday, reconstructed from the record.
Instead of remembering what you did, it reads the commits and the pull requests and hands back the update in the format you were going to write by hand anyway.
What it is
A reader of your own work history. It walks local git repositories over a time range and, with a token, adds GitHub pull requests, reviews and issue comments — then formats the lot into a standup or a weekly report.
What you get
- Local git commits across one or more repositories for any time range, with their messages
- Pull requests opened, merged and reviewed, and issues commented on, from GitHub
- A daily standup written from that activity, ready to paste into Slack, email or Markdown
- A weekly engineering summary or a client-facing progress report from the same material
- Which sources are configured, and which repositories were found
Requirements
Node.js and git, which is already on the machine. Local commits need no key; the GitHub side needs GITHUB_TOKEN and GITHUB_USERNAME in the environment.
Setup effort
One command — npx -y github:jabbawocky/standupcraft
