Comment on Ask HN: How do you track development time?parentComments−phil3kOP2moI also considered that, but it'd require shortening the lifetime of a git branch to also capture interruptions across projects, meetings, etc. So the more you increase accuracy, the more tedious this gets.−thisdougb2moI just use a branch per feature or unit of work. The git hooks make the time measurement automatic. git checkout -b feature_a <do work> git checkout master git merge feature_a probably about 10 seconds of effort, over the course of 1-3 days of coding time.
