Git-knife – Edit commit messages, authors, and dates like a spreadsheet

In plain words
Git-knife is a desktop GUI tool for editing git commit metadata directly in a spreadsheet-like interface. It allows users to modify commit messages, author names and emails, author dates, and committer dates across multiple commits at once. The tool addresses a gap left by existing git GUIs, which typically cannot edit commit dates or expose committer information. Git-knife is designed for developers who need fine-grained control over their git history without using command-line tools.

Stab your git history into shape — every commit's message, author, and dates, edited like a table. A clean desktop GUI for editing git commit metadata directly — message, author date, committer date, author name/email . Existing GUIs (GitKraken, Sublime Merge, Fork, lazygit) reword and reorder well but treat commit dates as effectively immutable and don't expose committer date / author identity for arbitrary commits. The tools that can rewrite that metadata ( git-filter-repo , git rebase env tricks, git commit-tree ) have no GUI. git-knife fills that gap. It never reimplements git — it shells out to the system git CLI and rebuilds commits with git commit-tree , reusing each commit's…from github.com

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
