Products that do what Send an email to [email protected] or [email protected] does

This is a small service for poorly connected users who can access the web only in a limited way. You just send an email to "[email protected]" and get back the corresponding manual page in a nice HTML format. So if you want help on the branch command, just [email protected]. Your email address is not stored, no logs are kept.

    I've always dreamed about a project like that when looking at status boards at other companies. We finally had the time to do our own. Here are some photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/robert_olejnik/sets/72157633736087905/ The stack: Django, mustache.js, Chart.js, Bootstrap and custom Supybot plugin. Maybe will be inspiration for someone else ;-) Do you guys have similar status boards? Cheers, Robert.

    Logis – a searchable scientific log in your Git commit history▲6

    I built this tool that auto-commits your code when you run an experiment, storing structured metadata in the commit message. A bit like `wandb` but local. There is a small CLI that lets you query for (e.g.) `metrics.accuracy > 0.9`, to find the code state that produced a good results. This is the first release, and there are quite a few planned features if anyone wants to submit a PR.

    Automating status updates using Git log and LLM▲9

    Hi HN, I built a simple tool that summarizes your team’s git logs into a weekly update that teams can send to leaders, other teams, etc. I hated writing the same update multiple times a week to everyone asking “what’s the status of X” Copy your repo’s commit logs with git log —all —since=“1 week ago”, paste them, and get a well-formatted update. Planning to add Github integration to further automate. Curious what folks think.

    I built a tool to manage work and personal Git repos▲6

    I finally got fed up with making work + personal Git repos work on my machine. Ever clone a work repository and accidentally make commits using your personal email? Or forget how to make your work repos use your work SSH key? Yeah... same. So I built the tool I've always wanted. GitPersona - a CLI tool for managing many git profiles on a single machine. Shoutout to my boy Codex for helping me finally ship this.

    My friend Amir and I made Gitdash, a quick little app for Github collaborators to communicate better. It's pretty easy - you just log into Github and it'll automatically generate mailing lists for all of your repos. Please check it out, feedback welcome! http://gitdash.com

    CI/CD in your terminal, zero YAML▲7

    We're two engineers that got fed up with context switching. Why do we need to do a git push, open a browser tab, wait for some task to actually start, bite nails (or read HackerNews) for 10 minutes or more while dependencies are being installed for the 100th time and finally end up with an invalid YAML error. And for some reason this usually happens in the final stage of the pipeline leading up to the inevitable git commits "Fixed", "Fixed again", "Test", "Really fixed this time". We can do better. We set out to build Zippy. A CI/CD system that works from your terminal. No context…

    Blog Posts from Git Commits – A Tiny Tool for the Lazy Dev▲5

    I put together a small prototype that might help folks like me who struggle with keeping their website’s blog active just for SEO. It’s a basic tool: you enter your Git repo details (owner, name, branch), pick a date range, and it generates a short blog post from the commits in that period. The idea is to give small businesses and solo devs a way to keep their blog up-to-date with actual product updates without needing to write new content. Right now, it’s still pretty minimal but I’d really appreciate any feedback, especially if you think this could be useful, or if you have ideas on how it…
