To create a status update from git commits, specify a time period like the last 3 days. The summarizer resolves this into exact dates, reads your authored commits, excludes merge commits, and synthesizes functional changes into a concise progress update including the date range.

Yes, merge commits are automatically excluded when generating a progress update. The summarization process filters out merge commits and irrelevant noise, focusing solely on meaningful shipped changes to produce a high-signal work update for teams or stakeholders.

The best way to report engineering productivity is to summarize git commits by author email over a specific time range. This produces a concise status update highlighting major functional changes, giving stakeholders a clear view of shipped work without manual commit filtering.

Yes, the git commit summarizer requires an author email to generate a progress report. It selects commits by matching your git user email within the specified time window to ensure the status update reflects your individual authored contributions.

Limit the status update to the biggest changes by requesting an optional short list of major updates. The summarizer synthesizes functional shipped changes and can optionally highlight only 2 to 5 major changes from your commit history within the computed date range.

Limitations include relying strictly on git commit history and author email matching, meaning uncommitted work or non-code tasks are excluded. It also focuses on functional changes, automatically discarding merge commits and irrelevant noise to ensure a concise output.
