✍️ Scribe - Developer Activity Tracker for VS Code

Scribe is a VS Code extension that helps developers track their activity, auto-log changes, and generate workspace-aware summaries**. It operates behind the scenes to record edits, auto-commit logs to a local Git repo, and offer easy ways to restore or diff snapshots, making it an ideal companion for focused, accountable, and resilient coding sessions.


🔧 Features

✅ Core Functionality

  • File Edit Tracking: Tracks how many times each file was edited per logging interval.
  • Auto Logging: Periodically logs a summary of edits to a markdown file.
  • Git Integration: Each log is committed to a Git repo for easy versioning.
  • Workspace-Aware Logging: Logs are scoped to each workspace in:
    C:\Users\<your-name>\.scribe\<workspace-folder>
    

📆 Summaries

  • Daily Summary: Auto-generated at the end of each day, summarizing all commits and changes.
  • Weekly Summary: Compiled at the end of the week with a high-level overview.

🧠 Snapshot Restore & Diff

  • Browse Commit History: Easily view previous snapshots.
  • Restore Snapshot: Revert to any earlier commit after confirming safety.
  • View Diff: Compare your current state with any previous snapshot.
  • Optional Branch Creation: Create a new branch from any commit for experimentation.

🚀 Getting Started

  1. Install the extension
  2. The extension runs automaically if it doesn't, reload VsCode window
  3. Start coding — Scribe will auto-log your changes!
