Initialize your repo

Installs a git hook that silently tracks branch checkouts.

$ cd your-project
$ hourgit init --project 'Work'
Created project Work
Installed post-checkout hook
Repository assigned to Work

Just code

Every branch switch records a time commit. Working hours boundaries handle overnight gaps automatically.

$ git checkout feature/auth
# ⏳ tracking time on feature/auth

# ... 2 hours later ...

$ git checkout fix/login-bug
# ⏳ 2h attributed to feature/auth
# ⏳ now tracking fix/login-bug

Log non-code work

Meetings, reviews, research — log anything that isn't a branch switch.

$ hourgit log add --duration 1h30m "code review"
Logged 1h 30m — code review

$ hourgit log add --from 9am --to 10:30am "standup"
Logged 1h 30m — standup
