   Interactive Smartlog VSCode Extension – An Interactive Git GUI▲73

   Interactive Smartlog is a graphical VSCode extension that presents a simplified view of the Git log, directly highlighting the branches and commits that are most relevant to your current work. And it's not just a visual tool — it's fully interactive, allowing you to add/switch/remove branches, stage/unstage files, and manage commits directly from the GUI. This tool draws inspiration from Meta's Interactive Smartlog built for the Sapling source control system, and I've adapted it to work with Git. Transitioning the functionality from Sapling to Git wasn't just about a…

    Lazyworktree, a TUI manager for Git worktrees▲9

    Inspired by lazygit, I have been working on a TUI to manage git worktrees easily, making some workflows for creating and managing worktrees a bit more straightforward. For example, creating a worktree from a PR/MR or from local changes. Executing commands on a worktree, or running a custom tmux session directly on a selected worktree. A lot of other tools are more CLI-oriented. I have tried to compile an honest comparison here: https://github.com/chmouel/lazyworktree/blob/main/COMPARAISO... Some of the code and documentation was written with an LLM if…

    A tool to safely migrate GitHub Actions workflows to Ubuntu-slim runner▲69

    Hi HN! I’ve been running GitHub Actions workflows for a while, and when GitHub announced the new ubuntu-slim runners as a cheaper alternative to ubuntu-latest, I wanted to migrate—but figuring out which workflows are safe to switch turned out to be surprisingly tedious. You need to check for Docker usage, services, containers, step failures due to missing packages, and whether jobs rely on tools not available in the slim image. So I built gh-slimify, a GitHub CLI extension that automates all of this. It scans your repository, detects which jobs can be migrated, flags incompatible patterns,…

    GitEase: Python3 CLI to simplify Git usage with LLM-assisted commits▲14

    When working on data science projects I often want to just save my work, without having to think deeply about what’s changed. I found the intentionality of Git to feel like friction in these times, and I built GitEase to simplify my workflow. Instead of having to think about add/commit/push/pull with GitEase I just think about `ge load, ge save, ge share, ge undo`. And for even less thinking, I use an LLM (text-da-vinci-003) to generate commit messages by summarizing the diff. Take a look, try it out, and I’d welcome any contributions & feedback. pip install gitease $ ge —help…

    Grsh – A high-performance shell for FreeBSD written in Rust▲50

    I built GRSH because I wanted a modern, memory-safe shell that feels native to FreeBSD but works seamlessly on macOS. While there are many shells out there, GRSH is my take on a minimal, fast, and secure command interpreter written entirely in Rust. It's designed for users who want the safety guarantees of Rust without the overhead of more bloated alternatives. I'm currently working on the official FreeBSD port. I’d love to get feedback on the shell's behavior and performance from the community. Github: https://github.com/antoniomalara301289/grsh
