Add this snippet to your global ~/.gitconfig file to simply query commits per quarter of a year.

Usage

git (q1|q2|q3|q4|quarter1|quarter2|quarter3|quarter4) (2012|2013|2014...any year)

• will list all of your commits (based on your user name)
• that you've made from January to March in the year 2012
• in reverse order
• with one line per commit (use git quarter1 2012 for the full message)
• all additional parameters after the year will be passed to the git log command that is used to implement this macro
• for example, git q2 2010 --patch lists all diffs for each commit.
