make timeline of your git history

can you look at the git history for this project. grab all the commits. title and descriptions for everything. analyse all of it. and make a chronologically timeline for major milestones and achivments? make it very readable and brief. this has to work in social media almost like story telling.

no. what i want is more like concrete miles stones as the driver for the story telling. try to understand the most siginifcant things that happened. and Make it more of a timeline. a stuctured one with dates.

maybe try to save the entire hist to file?

git log --pretty=format:"[COMMIT_START]%n%H%n%an%n%ad%n%s%n%b%n[COMMIT_END]" > git_history.log

that file is now too big. so dont read it. because you will run out of context window. if you want to read it. use some kind of excerpt call to read it etc

can you do this. print git_history log for every month and save each month to a file? just like we did with /Users/eon/conduit.design/git_history.log but for each month? that make things easier for you

no this is not working. you have to section this better. you need to undeerstand the entire month, i suggest you read titles in each month. and only dived down to escription if you want more meat. then you build month items frm first to last day of the month. only including the most eddential
