Aggregate git commits across multiple local repositories for daily stand-ups and time tracking.

Scans a directory tree for git repos in parallel, filters commits by author and time period, and renders a colorized Project -> Branch -> Commits tree — or structured JSON.

• Flexible time periods — today, yesterday, week, or arbitrary Xh / Xd (e.g. 24h, 3d, 14d)
• Custom date ranges — --since 2026-03-01 --until 2026-03-10 for arbitrary date ranges
• Parallel repo scanning — uses rayon; skips node_modules, target, vendor, and other build artifacts automatically
• Conventional commit highlighting — color-coded by type, auto-detected for TTY
• Interactive mode — drill-down navigation through projects, branches, and commits with fuzzy search
• Output depth — show only projects, projects with branches, or full detail with -d
• JSON output — machine-readable, suitable for scripting or further processing
• Clipboard copy — --copy puts a clean plain-text summary on the clipboard for pasting into Slack or Teams
• Config file — ~/.devcap.toml stores your defaults so you don't have to repeat --path and --author

brew install konradmichalik/tap/devcap

This installs both devcap and the shorthand wg.

To update to the latest version:

brew upgrade konradmichalik/tap/devcap

Use devcap-core to build your own tools on top of the commit aggregation engine:

[dependencies]
devcap-core = "0.3"

cargo install --path .

# Today's commits in the current directory
devcap

# Yesterday across all projects under ~/Sites
devcap -p yesterday --path ~/Sites

# Last 7 days, filtered by author
devcap -p 7d --path ~/Sites -a "Jane Doe"

# This calendar week as JSON
devcap -p week --json

# Interactive drill-down mode
devcap -i --path ~/Sites -p 7d

# Compact overview — projects only
devcap -d projects --path ~/Sites -p 7d

# Projects with branches (no individual commits)
devcap -d branches --path ~/Sites -p 7d

# Show repository origin (GitHub, GitLab, etc.)
devcap --show-origin --path ~/Sites -p 7d

# Copy output to clipboard for stand-ups
devcap --copy --path ~/Sites -p yesterday

# Commits from March 1st to March 10th
devcap --since 2026-03-01 --until 2026-03-10

# Everything since March 1st
devcap --since 2026-03-01 --path ~/Sites

# This week's commits up to March 5th
devcap -p week --until 2026-03-05

# Sort by number of commits (most active first)
devcap --sort commits --path ~/Sites -p 7d

# Sort alphabetically
devcap --sort name --path ~/Sites -p 7d

Use -i / --interactive to browse results interactively instead of printing them all at once. Navigate through three levels with fuzzy search:

1. Projects — select a repository to inspect
2. Branches — select a branch within that project
3. Commits — select a commit to view its git show --stat details

Each level shows a summary with commit counts and last activity time. Navigation:

• Type to fuzzy-filter the list
• Enter to select an item
• Esc to go back one level (or quit at the top)
• Show all renders the familiar terminal tree output for the current scope

Use -d / --depth to control how much detail is shown. Each level includes a summary with last activity time.

Use -o / --show-origin to display the hosting platform of each repository, detected from the origin remote URL:

:: my-app [GitHub]  (6 commits, 2 branches, 2h ago)
:: internal-tool [GitLab Self-Hosted]  (1 commit, 1 branch, 3d ago)
:: local-only  (2 commits, 1 branch, 5h ago)

Supported platforms: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, GitLab Self-Hosted, and custom hostnames. The origin field is always included in JSON output regardless of the flag.

Use --copy to put a clean plain-text summary on the system clipboard — ready to paste into Slack, Teams, or a daily standup note:

devcap --copy -p yesterday --path ~/Sites

The normal terminal output is still printed; the clipboard content is a plain-text version without ANSI colors. A confirmation message (Copied to clipboard.) appears on stderr.

Use --since and --until to specify exact date boundaries (format: YYYY-MM-DD). Both dates are inclusive.

devcap --since 2026-03-01 --until 2026-03-10   # exact range
devcap --since 2026-03-01                       # open-ended to now
devcap -p week --until 2026-03-05               # week start, capped end

Use --sort to control the order of projects. The format is <field> or <field>:<direction>.

devcap --sort name                # A → Z
devcap --sort name:desc           # Z → A
devcap --sort commits:asc         # least active first
devcap --sort lines --stat        # most changed lines first

Create ~/.devcap.toml to set defaults. CLI arguments always take precedence.

path = "~/Sites"
author = "Jane Doe"
period = "today"
show_origin = true
color = true
sort = "commits"
since = "2026-03-01"
until = "2026-03-31"

All fields are optional. When a field is not set in the config, the built-in default applies (path = ".", period = "today", sort = "time", color auto-detected from TTY).

Usage: devcap [OPTIONS]

Options:
  -p, --period <PERIOD>    Time period: today, yesterday, 24h, 3d, 7d, week [default: today]
      --since <DATE>       Start date (inclusive, YYYY-MM-DD)
      --until <DATE>       End date (inclusive, YYYY-MM-DD)
      --path <PATH>        Root directory to scan for git repos [default: .]
      --json               Output as JSON instead of colored terminal tree
      --no-color           Disable colored output (overrides TTY auto-detection)
      --copy               Copy output to clipboard as plain text (for stand-ups)
  -i, --interactive        Interactive drill-down mode (projects > branches > commits)
  -d, --depth <DEPTH>      Output depth: projects, branches, commits [default: commits]
  -a, --author <AUTHOR>    Filter by author name (defaults to git config user.name)
  -o, --show-origin        Show repository origin (GitHub, GitLab, etc.)
  -s, --stat               Show diff stats (+insertions -deletions ~files) per commit
      --sort <SORT>        Sort projects: time, commits, name, lines (append :asc or :desc)
  -h, --help               Print help
  -V, --version            Print version

devcap -p week --json | jq '[.[] | {project, commits: [.branches[].commits[].message]}]'

Each entry in the JSON array follows this shape:

{
  "project": "my-app",
  "path": "/Users/me/Sites/my-app",
  "origin": "github",
  "branches": [
    {
      "name": "main",
      "commits": [
        {
          "hash": "a1b2c3d",
          "message": "feat: add login flow",
          "commit_type": "feat",
          "timestamp": "2026-02-23T10:15:00+01:00",
          "relative_time": "3h ago"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
