Sometimes you have to take your git repository's log to see what you did the day before (ideal in preparation for the daily stand-up). What I want is a clean overview of each commit messages, their author and the time. The output result should be easily grep-able so I can filter stuff I don't need out.
|
||

|
||
|
|
To do this, I use the following custom `git log` command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git log --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset - %C(yellow)%ae%Creset - %Cgreen%cd%Creset - %s%Creset' --abbrev-commit --date=iso
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The result:
|
||
|
|

Now, it's easy to see what I did on april 22nd using grep
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git log <snip> | grep 2011-04-22
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also filter on email address to select only specific user etc. Of course, all this could be done with git, but I'm way more comfortable using grep.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To make life easy, you can create a shortcut for this log command. Add this to you `~/.gitconfig`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[alias]
|
||
|
|
timelog = log --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset - %C(yellow)%ae%Creset - %Cgreen%cd%Creset - %s%Creset' --abbrev-commit --date=iso
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can now use `git timelog` in any git repository.
