Versions:
git-recall is a personal git standup tool published by Ammaar, currently at version 1.0.0, which is the only released version of the software to date. Written in pure C, the tool is designed to help developers quickly recall and review their own commit activity over defined periods of time, making it especially useful for preparing daily standup meetings, weekly summaries, monthly progress reports, or year-end reviews. Users can see what they committed by day, week, month, or year, turning their local git history into an easily digestible personal activity log without requiring manual searching through commit logs. One of the defining characteristics of git-recall is its minimal footprint: it has no external dependencies beyond git itself, which simplifies installation and ensures the tool can run in a wide variety of environments where git is already available. Because it is implemented in pure C, it remains lightweight and portable, aligning with the expectations of command-line tooling in the developer tools and version control utilities category. The primary use case centers on individual developers who need to remember what they worked on, whether for team standups, status updates to managers, personal productivity tracking, or reconstructing work history after time away from a project. By summarizing commits across flexible time ranges, git-recall removes the friction of composing standup notes from memory or from raw git log output. Its single-version release history, consisting solely of version 1.0.0, indicates a focused initial release rather than a long chain of iterations, so users evaluating the software should note that it represents the first published build of the tool. Overall, git-recall occupies a practical niche within developer productivity software: a dependency-free, C-based command-line utility that transforms personal git commit history into standup-ready summaries across daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly intervals, requiring nothing more than git itself to function.
