Daily Standup

Daily Standup

Auto-generate standup reports from Git activity and project context.

Instructions

1. Gather Git activity:

   # Yesterday's commits
   git log --since="yesterday 00:00" --until="today 00:00" --oneline --all --author="$(git config user.name)"
   
   # Today's commits
   git log --since="today 00:00" --oneline --all --author="$(git config user.name)"
   
   # Stats (24h)
   git log --since="24 hours ago" --shortstat --author="$(git config user.name)"
   
   # Files changed
   git log --since="24 hours ago" --name-only --pretty=format:"" | sort -u | grep .
   

2. Check project context: TODO files, open branches, stale PRs

3. Generate report:

   ## 📋 Standup — 2025-02-08
   
   ### ✅ Done (Yesterday)
   - feat: Add user auth endpoint (abc1234)
   - fix: Resolve login timeout (#42)
   
   ### 🔨 In Progress
   - Working on payment integration (branch: feature/payments)
   - 3 files changed today
   
   ### 🚧 Blockers
   - Waiting on API key from vendor
   
   ### 📊 Stats (24h)
   - Commits: 5 | Files: 12 | +340/-89 lines
   

4. Multi-repo standup:

   for dir in ~/projects/*/; do
     [ -d "$dir/.git" ] || continue
     commits=$(git -C "$dir" log --since="24 hours ago" --oneline --author="$(git config user.name)" 2>/dev/null)
     [ -n "$commits" ] && echo "### $(basename $dir)" && echo "$commits"
   done
   

Edge Cases

• No commits: Report "No activity" — don't error; ask about work done offline
• Multiple authors: Filter by git config user.name; flag if not set
• Detached HEAD / bare repos: Skip gracefully
• Weekend standups: Extend to "since Friday 00:00" on Mondays

Requirements

• Git repository (any project)
• No API keys or dependencies
