   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…

    AuthorTrail – Browse files you've touched in a Git repo▲23

    This was more so an exercise in prompting with Lovable and Cursor than it was in creating a highly polished product/tool. Yet the end result works :) AuthorTrail is a locally running web UI that you can point to any Git repo. It will then look for all the files you have ever touched. This can be useful for large repos with lots of activity, where you want to remind yourself how you did something in the past. For example, I am using it to remind myself how I wrote an obscure unit test, without needing to browse my older PRs. Feedback welcome!
