git_time_extractor is a small command-line tool that produces a CSV Time Log for each developer/contributor to a project tracked in GIT. It uses the commit timestamps and three basic reasonable assumptions, approved by the developer's accountant.

Quickly Getting Started

Installation

gem install git_time_extractor

Running

  1. From your Terminal, go to the directory of the checked out GIT repository.
  2. run git_time_extractor > /path/to/save/result.csv
  3. open /path/to/save/result.csv in your spreadsheet application (Excel, Google Docs, OpenOffice Calc, etc).
