This marks the first week of the Dev Highlights roundup providing a contextualized summary of how much programming got done – optimized for forwarding to the boss for recognition. 📈
An encouraging start to the week, thanks for talkin' me up, @gitclear! 🧑💻
Too bad you can't market for 💩
Today was the day that we taught Commit Activity Browser how to label a group of commits.
As always, drag to see historical projects, or click a group to see its diff.
Diff viewer now shows which LLM authored each line, and allows an agent to answer reviewer Qs. Video soon
Awesome use case description a longtime GitClear customer. If Twitter still let people see posts with links, you could visit zenn-dev.translate.goog/soci… to read the English version and learn a lot about what it's like to use GitClear
Fwiw Diff Delta has been devaluing additions to ~worthless in past few weeks, this graph is net of that
Diff Delta (@gitclear metric I've iterated on for ~10 years) is detecting a much greater disturbance from AI than "Commit Count" since Dec 2025.
"Commit mass increase" in Prompt-to-Production era could be an interesting research topic...?
Research @ gitclear.com/research/develo…
What do you estimate the real productivity gain is so far? We have a guess, but curious if anyone else dares quantify theirs first? 🍿
Today we release research showing the aggregated baseline of AI use by year. Link to research in reply.
tl;dr As of 2025, close to 90% of professional devs consider themselves "regular AI users at work." Closer to 50% of say they use AI daily.
Our favorite @amplenote slash shortcut for the week: `draw` to quickly sketch pictures into notes that can improve our help documentation
Anyone with a podcast/YT channel want to talk what AI is doing to code maintainability? Our updated research is wrapping up, set for release next week. gitclear.com/blog/gitclear_a…
Quality-of-life upgrade for diff viewers live as of yesterday: it's now possible to toggle between "Unified" and "Split" on a per file basis, no page reload required. ✨
Announcement on automated changelogs: gitclear.com/blog/automatic_…
Docs for enabling Slack for critical notifications: gitclear.com/help/slack_noti…
Dual releases for today:
1. Our Automatic Changelog Generator skips the chore of scouring git history to compile a list of what was worked on lately
2. Select notifications can now be sent to Slack (+ image & actionable link)
Links to learn more in reply. 🚀
"Coding on Copilot II" data gathering on code quality officially underway. So far, the code quality data for code changes authored in 2024 looking much worse than our projections from 11 months ago. 😬
Our presentation on "No-Interrupt Updates" as part of improving Developer Experience goes live as part of #GitKon2024 today via @GitKraken. Register at gitkon.com to watch its imminent debut. ✨
And here's the 3 minute explanation of how Snap Changelogs work: youtube.com/watch?v=xfCgDqlk…
This weekend we released a video showing how our new Snap Changelogs are built to help #githubsponsors #opensource. Maybe something @github would like to offer to their new Sponsors? youtube.com/watch?v=r6ELGM4P…
Stack Overflow's latest feature blog, on our pull request research. Did you know GitHub's (and everyone else's) default PR/diffing tool was born when Michael Jackson and Madonna topped the charts? stackoverflow.blog/2024/08/0…
GitClear retweeted
2-3x per year I catch "programming fever" and get sucked into a 10-15 day hole where all my brain has cycles for is finishing a hard dev problem. Esp when the hard problem doesn't have a visual component, @gitclear's commit graph affirms progress, and incrementally motivates.
