I need to record roughly how long I worked on a project so I need to extract the dates from my commits co I can give a rough calculation. So fart I filter my commits with the 

git log --author="^name^" -- path ^folder_that_work_upon^

But how I can make the git to deisplay the distinct dates from my git commit history? For example I need to do a list like:

Nov 29
Nov 15
Nov 22
Nov 17
...

So to know how may days I worked upon.

You can change the output of git log to the desired format, and pipe the output into sort and uniq

git log --pretty=format:'%cd' --date=format:'%b %d' | sort | uniq

results in an output like

Nov 19
Nov 18
