git-timelog

A simple tool to track your git activity over time by analyzing your git reflog.

What it does

git-timelog analyzes your git reflog to show you a timeline of when you made changes, what actions you performed, and what you worked on. It generates an HTML report that opens in your browser showing:

• When you made commits, switches, merges, etc.
• What you were working on based on commit messages
• Task IDs extracted from commit messages (if present)
• A chronological timeline of your git activity

Installation

npm install -g @noex98/git-timelog

Usage

Navigate to any git repository and run:

git-timelog

This will:

1. Analyze your git reflog
2. Generate an HTML report
3. Automatically open the report in your browser

The report shows your git activity in a table format with timestamps, actions, and descriptions.
