gtm

gtm (Git Task Manager) is a command-line tool for tracking tasks and time directly through git repositories, designed for developers seeking integrated time and task management within their workflow.

GitHub Repository

Features

• Time Tracking Integrated with Git: Track time spent on commits in your git repositories. Each branch has its own timer, which automatically switches when you change branches.
• Automatic Timer Management: Timers start and stop automatically as you switch between branches. Global timer control allows you to start/stop timers from any directory.
• Manual Timer Adjustment: Adjust timer state if you forgot to start/stop it, using commands to add or subtract minutes.
• Branch-based Task Management: Treat each branch as a task. Optionally, bind branches to GitHub issues for task tracking.
• Issue Integration: Create and bind GitHub issues to branches. Automatically generate issues with tags based on branch naming conventions.
• Pull Request Automation: After pushing commits to a task branch, easily create pull requests linked to the corresponding GitHub issue.
• Task Switching: Switch between tasks using either branch names or associated issue numbers.
• Task Closure: Use a command to close tasks, which guides you through the necessary steps.
• Reports Generation: Generate reports on time spent per project or per task, including weekly reports.
• Shell Prompt Integration: Display concise timer information directly in your shell prompt (supports zsh and fish).
• Multi-repository Support: Seamlessly manage time tracking across multiple git repositories without manual timer switching.
• Customizable Configuration: Configure via git and supports custom hooks, with a warning that it may overwrite existing git hooks.

Requirements

• Requires git and the ghi tool (for GitHub issue integration).
• Implemented as a bash script—can be installed by copying to PATH or linking/aliasing.

Pricing

• Open Source: No pricing information; gtm is available for free under an open-source license.
