How long have I been working on this Project?
Today I was thinking back on my time on a project, and wanted to see how long I'd been assigned to it. We've been on this project for a while, so traversing the Git log would require precision.
My solution:
$ git log --author="\(jwworth\)" --reverse
We use go-pear to set Git authorship for pairs; as a result my username 'jwworth' could be in several locations in the text of the author email. Luckily, the --author flag matches regular expressions.
