standup

Cross-platform CLI that generates your daily standup report from local git repos.

Scans all registered repo directories, collects yesterday's commits (by you), and shows uncommitted work-in-progress. Outputs a plain-text or markdown report you can paste straight into Slack, Teams, or Notion.

Why not git-standup?
git-standup is a bash script — it doesn't work on Windows without WSL, requires git-extras, and can't output markdown. standup is a single Node.js file with zero dependencies that runs natively on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Install

npm install -g @rushabh5000/standup

Or run without installing:

npx @rushabh5000/standup

Quick Start

# 1. Register the directories that contain your git repos
standup add D:/projects        # scans one level deep for git repos
standup add D:/work/my-app     # or register a single repo directly

# 2. Run your standup
standup

# 3. Get a Slack-ready markdown version, copied to clipboard
standup --markdown --copy

Usage

standup [options]
standup add <directory>
standup config

Options

| Flag | Description | |---|---| | --today | Show today's commits instead of yesterday | | --since <date> | Show commits since a specific date (YYYY-MM-DD) | | --author <name> | Override the git author name to filter by | | --markdown | Output in markdown format | | --copy | Copy output to clipboard | | --version | Show version | | --help | Show help |

Sub-commands

standup add <dir>   # Register a scan directory
standup config      # Show current config (~/.standup.json)

Config File

Config is saved to ~/.standup.json:

{
  "scan": [
    "D:/projects",
    "D:/work/my-app"
  ],
  "author": "Your Name"
}

You can edit this file directly. scan entries can be:

• A parent directory — standup scans one level deep for git repos
• A direct repo path — used as-is

How It Determines "Yesterday"

• Weekdays (Tue–Fri): shows the previous day
• Monday: shows the previous Friday (skips the weekend)
• Override with --since <date> for any custom range

Clipboard Support

| Platform | Tool used | |---|---| | Windows | clip (built-in) | | macOS | pbcopy (built-in) | | Linux | xclip (install with apt install xclip) |
