Git Time Metric
Seamless time tracking for all your Git projects
$ gtm report -last-month
GTM is automatic, seamless and lightweight. There is no need to remember to start and stop timers. It runs on occasion to capture activity triggered by your editor. The time metrics are stored locally with the git repository as Git notes and can be pushed to the remote repository.
