Notes​

  • Reports must exist in the configured output.dir (default: ~/.work-summary/reports/).
  • The commit count is parsed from the report content — it reflects the number of commits in the original scan.
  • To change $EDITOR, set the environment variable: export EDITOR=code (VS Code), export EDITOR=nano, etc.
