Hari Sekhon - GitHub Graph Commit Times

GitHub Graph Commit Times

This Golang program generates a graphical representation (SVG) of commit activity by hour for any number of GitHub repositories.

It can also filter commits by a specific user or email.

There is also a similar version in Bash in the HariSekhon/DevOps-Bash-tools repo.

Caveats

GitHub API returns Times in UTC

...and there is no way to know the original timezone of the programmer this way.

Scripts git/git_graph_commit_times_*.sh that generate graphs from local git repo checkouts in the DevOps-Bash-tools repo will get local timezone hours from the local git log in each checkout, but this only works if you have all the repos checked out locally so requires much more admin than querying the GitHub API.

This issue has been raised against GitHub API.
