   Gitdot – A better GitHub. Open-source, written in Rust▲334

   What works now: user signups, org creations, private/public repos, and importing GitHub repositories (both as read-only mirrors and full migrations). So basically, you can create, push and pull to a repo, but we don't have many features quite yet (issues, PRs, CI). What is a bit unique is: 1) we built it in Rust and 2) the website is a little odd. Its design is inspired by CLIs (e.g., fzf, broot, vim) instead of web apps, and as such, lacks some affordances that you might typically expect in favor of keyboard-driven instant navigations (we have the very ambitious goal of an FCP of…

   Gut – An easy-to-use CLI for Git▲314

   Hi Hacker news ! I’m Julien and I built an alternative CLI for Git : gut. Even if I haven’t been coding for a long time (I’m in the first year studying computer science), I’ve always found git to be frustrating. The command naming is inconsistent and git lets you easily shoot yourself in the foot. I made gut, another git porcelain, to solve these issues. It provides a consistent naming of command. To do so, syntax is based on subcommands. For example, to delete a branch, run gut branch rm rather than git branch -d, same to delete a remote (gut remote rm) and so on. Gut also prevents you from…

    Serie – A rich Git commit graph in your terminal▲18

    Serie is a TUI application that uses the terminal emulators' image display protocol to render commit graphs like git log --graph --all. This is not a full-featured git client, nor are there any plans to add such functionality, so it is not a replacement for tig, lazygit, gitui, etc. The only purpose of this tool is to provide a pretty git log --graph and make commit information easily accessible. While some users prefer to use Git via CLI, they often rely on a GUI or feature-rich TUI to view commit logs. Others may find git log --graph sufficient. Personally, I found the output from git log…
