# Gitvow Recall

> Before starting a task, find earlier sessions in this repository that worked on the same feature, bug or concept, so you build on them instead of repeating them. Use at the start of work, when a bug looks familiar, or when the user says "we did something like this before".

# Has this been worked on before?

Run with the concrete words of the task, not generic ones:

```sh
gitvow recall week start cache
gitvow recall export endpoint orders
```

Each hit is a session with its date, commit count and the plan it stated. `(ledger only)` marks a session that ended without committing; its work may survive in snapshots.

How to use the answer:
- Read `gitvow why <file>` for the files those sessions touched before writing code.
- If a previous session tried the same approach and a person changed it afterwards, take that as feedback on the approach.
- If nothing is recorded, say so and proceed; do not invent history.
