Doxxer – CLI tool for dynamic SemVer versioning using tags

In plain words

Doxxer is a command-line tool written in Rust that extracts and calculates semantic versions from Git repository tags. It works similarly to "git describe --tags" but produces fully SemVer-compliant output as a single, predictable binary. Developers working with Git-based versioning can use it to avoid manual version string modifications across projects. Installation requires Cargo, with pre-built binaries planned for future release.

CLI tool for dynamic SemVer versioning using Git and tags - karlis-vagalis/doxxer

✨ doxxer ✨ automates SemVer versioning using your Git tags and commit history. Built in Rust , this configurable CLI tool eliminates need for manual version management and supports you in your project release process. Inspired by git describe --tags , doxxer offers tag filtering, custom version formatting via templates, and diverse version bumping strategies. Install doxxer via cargo or by downloading a binary from the GitHub Releasesfrom github.com

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi, first time poster here! Wanted to share a small CLI utility in Rust: doxxer! It is a tool for working with Git repositories, more specifically, extracting and calculating current/upcoming semantic versions for your repo's tags. It is heavily inspired by the output from "git describe --tags". Why use anything…

  Gitdot – A better GitHub. Open-source, written in RustJun 2026 · gitdot.io · ▲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…

  Lstr – A modern, interactive tree command written in Rust2025 · github.com · ▲227

  Hi HN, (First time poster!) I'm the author of `lstr`. I've always loved the classic Linux `tree` command for its simplicity, but I often found myself wanting more modern features like interactivity and Git integration. So, I decided to build my own version in Rust with a philosophy of being fast, minimalist, and interactive. It was also an excuse to help learn more about Rust\! Here's a quick look at the interactive mode: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bgreenwell/lstr/main/asset... I've just released v0.2.0 with some features I think this community might find…

  Codespelunker – A command line search tool with TUI and HTTP modes2023 · github.com · ▲71

  I initially built cs (codespelunker) as a way to answer the question, can BM25 relevance search work without building an index? Turns out it can, and so I iterated on the idea, building it into a full CLI tool. Recently I wanted to improve it by adding relevance of tools like Sourcegraph or Zoekt but again without adding an index. cs uses scc https://github.com/boyter/scc to understand the structure of the file on the fly. As such it can filter searches to code, comments or strings. It also applies a weighted BM25 algorithm where matches in actual code rank higher than…

  I rebuilt the only parts of my IDE I use, in Rust, over a weekendJun 2026 · github.com · ▲50

  I don't know Rust. Friday after work I realised that 90% of my IDE time now is just the commit/diff view — and even good IDEs feel heavy for that. So over the weekend I built a dedicated native tool for just that. Kyde is a macOS git commit + diff editor with one goal: be fast, do Git well. I'm curious whether anyone else mostly opens their IDE for git operations these days. It's open source, and there's a signed app in Releases.

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Tapflow 2.0▲1,125

  We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
