gitrospective

GitHub + GitLab + local Git

Your code has been keeping a diary.

Gitrospective combines the activity visible on GitHub and GitLab with the Git history on your computer. You get a private calendar of the projects you worked on.

01 / The missing record

The green graph leaves a lot out.

GitHub can show one part of your work. GitLab may hold another. Old experiments can exist only as local clones. Gitrospective reads the dates that remain available and puts them on the same calendar.

How the archive is built.

  1. 01

    Connect an account

    Sign in with GitHub or GitLab. Gitrospective only makes read requests.

  2. 02

    Add local repositories

    Run the CLI on any computer that still has useful Git history.

  3. 03

    Match remotes

    Matching cloud mirrors contribute zero local commits to the combined total.

  4. 04

    Browse by year

    Open a year to see its active days, projects and organizations.

04 / Data

What leaves your computer.

Provider tokens are encrypted in the database. The local scanner uploads dates, counts, project names and normalized remotes. It skips source code and commit messages.
