Flaunt GitHub is a Visual Studio Code extension that logs your coding activity—file save events (and optional file opens, including Git‑provider previews)—and periodically commits a rolling summary to a private GitHub repository on a schedule.
🆕 What’s New in v1.7.0
.git URI Tracking
Captures saves and opens for files viewed through VS Code’s Git provider (e.g. package.json.git), so every preview or diff counts.
Browser‑Based Authentication
Fully relies on VS Code’s GitHub OAuth flow—no Personal Access Token required.
🚀 Features
Automatic Repository Management
On activation, checks for (or creates) a private code-tracking repo in your GitHub account and clones it locally.
Activity Logging
File Saves: Logs each save event with a timestamp and workspace‑relative path—including .git‑based previews.
Optional File Opens: When codeTracking.trackFileOpens is enabled, logs file open events for real files.
Periodic GitHub Commits
Appends accumulated logs to coding_summary.txt, commits with a timezone‑aware message, and pushes automatically at the configured interval.
Configurable Interval: Adjust codeTracking.commitInterval (in minutes); changes take effect immediately.
Status Bar Countdown
Shows a live timer to your next scheduled commit.
Manual Commit Trigger
Run Start Code Tracking from the Command Palette to push your summary instantly.
Commit Message Prefix
Optionally prepend a custom prefix via codeTracking.commitMessagePrefix to group or identify commits.
Automatic Conflict Resolution
Before each push, merges remote changes using --strategy-option=theirs to avoid manual merge conflicts across machines.
Milestone Notifications
Celebrates every 10 commits with an in‑editor notification to keep you motivated.
Metrics & Diff Badges
Run Show Code Tracking Metrics to see:
Language‑specific save counts.
Session durations per file (real files only).
Uncommitted diff stats for both the tracking repo and your workspace.
Output Channel Logging
All operations—repo creation, saves/opens, commits, pushes, errors—are logged in the FlauntGitHubLog panel, which opens automatically.
🔧 Requirements
VS Code v1.70.0 or later
Git installed and in your system PATH
GitHub Account (authenticated via VS Code’s built‑in GitHub OAuth)
⚙️ Configuration
Add or adjust these settings in your settings.json (user or workspace):
{
// Interval in minutes between automatic commits (default: 30)
"codeTracking.commitInterval": 30,
// Optional: prefix for commit messages
"codeTracking.commitMessagePrefix": "[Flaunt] ",
// Optional: track file open events (default: false)
"codeTracking.trackFileOpens": true
}
No GitHub token or username fields are needed—authentication is handled by VS Code.
📖 Usage

Save/Open Logging: Tracks each save and (optionally) file open event, including .git previews.
Automatic Commits: Happens at your configured interval—watch the status bar countdown.
Manual Commits: Trigger Start Code Tracking via Ctrl+Shift+P.
