What it does

One command to back up every Git repo you have. Discovers repos, auto-commits dirty work, and pushes backup branches — safely. 🔥 Dry-run first, push second · 🔥 Streaming pipeline — backup starts before scan finishes · 🔥 Secret detection before any auto-commit · 🔥 No force-push · 🔥 Plugin support · 🔥 Structured logs, 250+ tests · 🔥 Bubble Tea TUI with fire animation Built from the old "in case of fire: git commit, git push, leave building" meme. Rebuilt properly. Beta. MIT.

Multi-repo checkpoint with git-fire, reverse sync with git-rain, plus git-testkit and git-harness for serious Git automation and tests.

A pair of CLIs with the same registry-aware, safety-first discipline — one to push, one to pull. Emergency or everyday: one entrypoint for multi-repository checkpoints with dry-run, registry repeatability, secret-aware logging, and a Bubble Tea TUI when you want to steer interactively. Pulls the same mental model in the opposite direction: discover local repos, fetch from remotes, fast-forward branches where it is safe, and refuse to rewrite local-only commits unless you opt into risky mode with backup refs first. Go-first testing helpers for real Git repositories — fixtures, scenarios, snapshots — so CLIs prove behavior against actual git instead of brittle mocks. Java and Python…from git-fire.com

  • Git Auto Commit (GAC) – LLM-powered Git commit command line toolOct 2025 · github.com · ▲56

    GAC is a tool I built to help users spend less time summing up what was done and more time building. It uses LLMs to generate contextual git commit messages from your code changes. And it can be a drop-in replacement for `git commit -m "..."`.

    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…

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
