--- version: "2.0.0" name: gitbuddy description: "Extend Git with utilities for changelogs, branch cleanup, and repo stats. Use when generating changelogs, squashing branches, or viewing repo statistics." --- # GitBuddy GitBuddy v2.0.0 — a developer toolkit for managing code quality workflows from the command line. Log checks, validations, lint results, diffs, fixes, and more. Each entry is timestamped and persisted locally. Works entirely offline — your data never leaves your machine. ## Why GitBuddy? - Works entirely offline — your data never leaves your machine - Simple command-line interface with no GUI dependency - Export to JSON, CSV, or plain text at any time for sharing or archival - Automatic activity history logging across all commands - Each domain command doubles as both a logger and a viewer ## Commands ### Domain Commands Each domain command works in two modes: **log mode** (with arguments) saves a timestamped entry, **view mode** (no arguments) shows the 20 most recent entries. | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | `gitbuddy check ` | Log a check operation such as code quality checks, dependency audits, or pre-commit verification results. Track what was checked and the outcome. | | `gitbuddy validate ` | Log a validation entry for schema validations, test suite passes, or configuration checks. Record pass/fail status and details of what was validated. | | `gitbuddy generate ` | Log a generation task such as changelog generation, boilerplate scaffolding, or code generation results. Track what was generated and from what source. | | `gitbuddy format ` | Log a formatting operation including code formatter runs, style enforcement results, and auto-fix summaries. Record files affected and changes made. | | `gitbuddy lint ` | Log a lint result with error counts, warning details, and rule violations found. Useful for tracking code quality trends across commits and branches. | | `gitbuddy explain ` | Log an explanation entry for code review notes, architecture decisions, or complex logic documentation. Build a searchable knowledge base of explanations. | | `gitbuddy convert ` | Log a conversion task such as format migrations, encoding changes, or data transformations. Record source format, target format, and conversion outcomes. | | `gitbuddy template ` | Log a template operation for project scaffolding, commit message templates, or PR description templates. Track template creation and usage patterns. | | `gitbuddy diff ` | Log a diff result including lines added/removed, files changed, and branch comparison summaries. Essential for tracking code change patterns over time. | | `gitbuddy preview ` | Log a preview entry for build previews, deployment previews, or staged change reviews. Record what was previewed and the assessment. | | `gitbuddy fix ` | Log a fix operation for bug fixes, lint auto-fixes, or configuration corrections. Track what was broken, what was changed, and whether the fix resolved the issue. | | `gitbuddy report ` | Log a report entry for code quality summaries, sprint retrospectives, or weekly development reports. Capture key metrics and findings. | ### Utility Commands | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | `gitbuddy stats` | Show summary statistics across all log files, including entry counts per category and total data size on disk. | | `gitbuddy export ` | Export all data to a file in the specified format. Supported formats: `json`, `csv`, `txt`. Output is saved to the data directory. | | `gitbuddy search ` | Search all log entries for a term using case-insensitive matching. Results are grouped by log category for easy scanning. | | `gitbuddy recent` | Show the 20 most recent entries from the unified activity log, giving a quick overview of recent work across all commands. | | `gitbuddy status` | Health check showing version, data directory path, total entry count, disk usage, and last activity timestamp. | | `gitbuddy help` | Show the built-in help message listing all available commands and usage information. | | `gitbuddy version` | Print the current version (v2.0.0). | ## Data Storage All data is stored locally at `~/.local/share/gitbuddy/`. Each domain command writes to its own log file (e.g., `check.log`, `lint.log`). A unified `history.log` tracks all actions across commands. Use `export` to back up your data at any time. ## Requirements - Bash (4.0+) - No external dependencies — pure shell script - No network access required ## When to Use - Tracking code quality checks and lint results across commits, branches, and releases over time - Logging validation outcomes and formatting operations for audit trails and compliance - Recording diffs and fix operations to maintain a searchable history of code changes - Generating development activity reports for sprint retrospectives or team reviews - Building a local knowledge base of code explanations, templates, and conversion records ## Examples ```bash # Log a lint result gitbuddy lint "src/main.js — 0 errors, 3 warnings (no-unused-vars, prefer-const)" # Log a validation gitbuddy validate "schema v2.1 passes all 47 test cases, zero regressions" # Record a fix gitbuddy fix "Resolved null pointer in auth middleware — missing user check on line 142" # Log a diff gitbuddy diff "feature-branch vs main: +342 -128 lines across 14 files" # Generate a report entry gitbuddy report "Weekly code quality summary — 98.5% pass rate, down 2 warnings from last week" # View all statistics gitbuddy stats # Export everything to CSV gitbuddy export csv # Search entries mentioning auth gitbuddy search auth # Check recent activity gitbuddy recent # Health check gitbuddy status ``` --- Powered by BytesAgain | bytesagain.com | hello@bytesagain.com
