Hey, look what we (by which I mean mostly Andy) made: [gitminder.com](http://gitminder.com) We’re telling you all first, and will probably tweet it as our emergency UVI [[beeminder.com/meta/uvi](http://beeminder.com/meta/uvi)] today unless any of you find any really embarrassing bugs. 🙂 PS: draft blog announcement of gitminder: [http://expost.padm.us/gitminder](http://expost.padm.us/gitminder) – [http://dreev.es](http://dreev.es) – search://“Daniel Reeves” Goal tracking + Commitment contracts == [http://beeminder.com](http://beeminder.com) ---

Schwern, you let the cat out of the bag slightly early, but, holy cow, given your gushing praise [1] we can hardly be upset. 🙂 (You weren’t being sarcastic, were you?) Really appreciate you helping spread the good word! We want to add a few things to the post, like pointing out that Duke Leto hacked up some things to do this using our API before we had official github integration. And [tenxer.com](http://tenxer.com) deserves a mention. And if I get my hands on the prose (it’s Andy so far) I’ll probably end up waxing philosophical about what this means for productivity in the 21st century. 🙂 Anyway, thanks again, and I’ll follow-up here when we publish it for real on the blog in case others want to help pimp it.

I wanted to track commits over all repositories in a single goal. Any easy way to do it at github side or maybe at client side using post-commit hooks?

we’re going to try adding beeminder as a service on github for post-commit hooks which should make this possible (though you’d still have to add beeminder as a post-commit service hook for each repository)… On Sat, Feb 23, 2013 at 11:06 PM, Pankaj More(BlankVerse) [pankajmore@gmail.com](mailto:pankajmore@gmail.com) wrote: > I wanted to track commits over all repositories in a single goal.

I have looked at some client side solutions , but since git repos are independent of each other , there is no easy way to reuse a post-commit hook across all repositories. Maybe github api can be used to look for commit events across repos.

Howdy, I do just this: > **[Beeminder](https://www.beeminder.com/dukeleto/github_commits)** > > Goal tracking and commitment contracts But yes, this requires setting a post-receive hook for every repo I want to track. Also, I can’t add a hook to repos which I am not an admin on. It is not perfect, but it does give me a decent summary of my Github activity.
