Estimates how long you actively worked on a project by analyzing git commit history. Groups commit days into "sessions" separated by a configurable gap threshold, then tallies active days while ignoring dead time.
uv tool install git+https://github.com/haffinnih/git-active-days# Run from inside any git repo
git-active-days
# Specify a repo path
git-active-days /path/to/repo
# Custom session gap threshold (default: 7 days)
git-active-days --gap 14
# Analyze a specific branch
git-active-days --branch main
# Filter by author
git-active-days --author "Habib"
# Analyze all branches
git-active-days --all-branches
# Show individual active dates per session
git-active-days --datesAfter installing, enable autocomplete for your shell:
git-active-days --install-completion
Then restart your shell (or source your rc file) for it to take effect.
Commit dates are collected from git log and grouped into sessions. A new session starts when the gap between two consecutive active days exceeds the threshold (--gap, default 7 days). Each session reports its date range, active days, commit count, line churn, and any tags that fall within it.
