    Introducing Shredy's New CLI Tool

    Introducing our new CLI tool for SR&ED reporting.

    Introducing Shredy's New CLI Tool
    Shredy is always looking for new ways to simplify and streamline the SR&ED (Scientific Research and Experimental Development) claim process. Today, we announce the launch of our Command Line Interface (CLI) tool—a powerful addition to our suite of tools designed to make SR&ED reporting faster and more efficient than ever.

    Leveraging Git History for SR&ED Claims

    The foundation of any successful SR&ED claim is in the work identified and performed by the company, supported by detailed documentation of projects, challenges, and advancements. Our new CLI tool provides a new way to support your SR&ED claim by analyzing git commit histories. By leveraging your existing Git repositories, Shredy's CLI tool transforms your development history into valuable SR&ED documentation.

    Key Features and Benefits

    1. Automated Repository Analysis

    The CLI tool automatically analyzes your Git repository's commit history, identifying patterns of experimental development, technical challenges, and innovative solutions. This analysis helps build a comprehensive picture of your R&D activities throughout the year.

    2. Detailed Documentation Generation

    Based on repository analysis, the tool generates detailed documentation highlighting key technical advancements, challenges overcome, and methodologies used. This documentation serves as valuable supporting evidence for your SR&ED claim.

    3. Contributor Insights

    Track and document the contributions of team members involved in R&D activities. The tool provides detailed breakdowns of who worked on what aspects of your innovative projects, helping to substantiate labor costs for your SR&ED claim.

    4. Audit-Ready Reports

    Generate professional, audit-ready PDF reports that can be shared directly with the CRA. These reports include comprehensive documentation of your development activities, making it easier to support your SR&ED claim during review.

    Getting Started with the CLI Tool

    Installation and setup is straightforward. Simply run:

    pip install shredy


    Then use the command:

    shredy [username] [repo name] [year]


    The tool will generate a SRED-Report folder in your working directory containing detailed analysis and documentation in PDF format.

    Looking Ahead

    This CLI tool represents just the beginning of our commitment to simplifying SR&ED claims through technology. We're continuously working on new features and improvements to make the SR&ED process even more streamlined for innovative companies.
