Introduction

The standup problem

Daily standups are supposed to take 5 minutes, but you spend 15 minutes trying to remember what you actually did yesterday. You scour your Slack messages, your Jira board, and run git log.

But git log lies to you.

What actually happened	What git log shows
You spent 4 hours in your IDE debugging	Nothing
You stashed your WIP to fix a hotfix	Nothing
You pair-programmed and your coworker pushed the commit	Nothing
You opened 3 Draft PRs	Nothing

The solution

git-brief sits locally on your machine and generates your standup in 3 seconds.

It reads your uncommitted files, your git stashes, your Co-authored-by: tags, and your GitHub PRs. Then, it uses a local or cheap API LLM to format it into a clean, bulleted list.

It doesn’t upload your codebase to a remote server. It just reads your git metadata, bundles it, and writes your standup directly to your clipboard.

Yesterday:
  • Fixed auth token expiry bug in /api/refresh (PR #234 merged)
  • Pushed rate limiter skeleton to feature/rate-limit

Today:
  • Finishing Redis TTL fallback in rate limiter

Zero overhead. Type git brief, paste into Slack, and get back to work.
