magit-standup

Collect recent git commits across multiple repositories and format them as org-mode standup notes.

Features

• Scans one or more git repositories for your recent commits
• Weekday-aware lookback: on Monday (and weekends) looks back to Friday; otherwise looks back 1 day
• Transient menu lets you override the since-date and repository list before running
• Output is an org-mode buffer with clickable commit links (via orgit or org-git-link)
• Directories that aren’t git repos are searched recursively for nested repos

Requirements

• Emacs 28.1+
• Magit 4.5.0+
• Transient 0.8.0+

Installation

With use-package and straight.el

(use-package magit-standup
  :straight (:host github :repo "function-artisans/magit-standup"))

Manual

Clone the repository and add it to your load-path:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/magit-standup")
(require 'magit-standup)

Usage

Run M-x magit-standup to open the transient menu:

• -d / --since= — override the since-date (defaults to the weekday-aware computed date)
• -r / --repos= — override the repository list

Press s to generate the standup notes in a *magit-standup* buffer.
