What is exactly you want to do? You can fetch previously recorded time with git fetchgtm
. If you have not recorded any data to repo, then can't extract it. I might have misunderstood your question tho
I basically would like to start using gtm but I have an existing repository, not a new one. So in addition to start recording with gtm I would like to pre-seed it with a per-user estimate/approximation of time already spent on the project based on the versioning informations alone. But I guess I might be out of luck... or can you point me to any script of such kind ?
Yeah, you can start with gtm init
, and then manually add times for one of previous comments etc. but it's more of a manual work as far as I know. Also it might not be good for statistics as it would make one commit time huge for every developer.
one way i was thinking is finding groups of commits within x minutes of each other by the same author and counting the time between the first and the last commit to be then added with gtm. aferward an approximation could be made to figure the "developer speed" from the clusters of commits and the amount of changes and then apply it to the "change size" of the remaining isolated commits. I would like to see something like gtm init --estimate
for accomplishing this, so if you have any ideas or consideration please tell me.
I will probably end up making a separate tool, but I think this will be also a way to try my hand at Go if I can add it to this project :)
Is this possible ?
