Terminal Git Time Metrics (GTM) plug-in

Simple, seamless, lightweight time tracking for all your git projects

Git Time Metrics (GTM) is a tool to automatically track time spent reading and working on code that you store in a Git repository. By installing GTM and using supported plug-ins for your favorite editors, you can immediately realize better insight into how you are spending your time and on what files.

Installation

Installing GTM is a two step process. First, it's recommended you install the GTM executable that the plug-in integrates with and then install the Terminal GTM plug-in. Please submit an issue if you have any problems and/or questions.

  1. Follow the Getting Started section to install the GTM executable for your operating system.
  2. To install the plugin download the shell script and source gtm-plugin.sh from either your .bashrc or .zshrc file. Also make sure the shell script is executable chmod +x gtm-plugin.sh.

Note - to enable time tracking for a Git repository, you need to initialize it with gtm init otherwise it will be ignored by GTM. This is done via the command line.

> cd /path/to/your/project
> gtm init

Consult the README and Wiki for more information.

Note - to use this plugin you must be on GTM version 1.1-beta.1 or higher. To enable terminal tracking on an existing GTM initialized Git repository reinitialize with gtm init. To disable terminal tracking for a git repostiory use gtm init --terminal=false.

GTM is automatic, seamless and lightweight. There is no need to remember to start and stop timers. It runs on occasion to capture activity triggered by your editor. The time metrics are stored locally with the git repository as Git notes and can be pushed to the remote repository.
