Git rewind – your Git year in review
I started an experiment to let a WASM-powered webapp interact with a local git repo and see how well this works. It turns out, it works pretty well! I made it into a "git wrapped" tool that shows you when you committed the most, and what languages and files you most touched. Despite the scary prompt when you use the filesystem API everything happens locally and your code stays private. (You can of course also just try it on cloned public github repos). Let me know what you think!

git rewind requires the File System Access API, which is only available in Chrome, Edge, or other Chromium-based browsers on desktops. Please use one of these browsers to continue. The screenshots below show example stats (I opened the official repository of git itself). Get a comprehensive overview of when your repository sees the most activity: total commits, most productive days, and commit patterns throughout the year and by hour of the day. These stats are also available by individual contributor. An ordered list of contributors by commit count. Click to see more stats about a contributor.

JSON Query2015 · satishmaha.com · ▲152On a recent screen share with our designer at my FT job, I watched as our designer struggled with checking out a repository. It was painful because existing Git clients are confusing and nearly user hostile. Us software engineers are used to Git and terrible UX, but it shouldn't have to be that way. So, I wanted to make something better. Been working on this one for a while now, and while it's still very early stages, it's stable enough that I feel comfortable sharing it with the world :) I wanted a few things to be really easy and clear: - Merging between branches is explained before you do…
- ICI created a cross-platform GUI for the JJ VCS (Git compatible)2025 · ▲140
Personally, I think the JJ VCS (https://github.com/jj-vcs/jj) hit a point some time in this past year where I find it hard to find a great reason to continue using git. Over the years I've cobbled together aliases and bash functions to try to improve my git workflow, but after using jj, which works with ~any git repo and integrates great with Github repos, all of the workflow issues I ran into with git are not only solved, but improved in ways I couldn't manage with simple scripts. One example is the op log, which lets you go to any point in your repo's time and provides…
I made a git rebase TUI editor2024 · github.com · ▲115I use interactive rebase quite often, and particularly like the editor bundled with IntelliJ. But I do not always work with IntelliJ, and am not 'fluent' with Vim, so I tried to replicate roughly the same rebase experience within a TUI. I used a small TUI OCaml project i made last year. The notable features are: - Move commits up and down, fixup, drop - Rename commits from the editor (without having to stop for a reword during the rebase run) - Visualize modified files along commits - 'Explode' a commit ,creating a commit for each modified file (a thing I found myself doing quite often)…

Talanoa▲343Hi 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…
