Gmap: Explore Git Repos Visually from the CLI
Hey folks, I just released a new CLI tool called gmap, built in Rust, focused on exploring Git history visually and efficiently from your terminal. Highlights: • Heatmap view: weekly commit activity with churn and delta stats • Filetype breakdown: see which file extensions are most active • Authorship insight: per-week top contributors • Timeline and trends: sparkline and stats over time • TUI mode (–tui): navigate interactively, search, filter, view stats • Export mode: get all Git stats as JSON for further processing Install with: cargo install gmap Or check it out here:…
Gmap: Explore Git Repos Visually from the CLI launched on August 1, 2025 with 26 votes, #578 of 8,530 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
In plain words
Gmap is a command-line tool that visualizes Git repository activity directly in the terminal. It displays weekly heatmaps, file churn metrics, and authorship statistics to help developers understand code changes and contributions over time. The tool is designed for developers interested in Git internals and terminal-based workflows, and can be installed via Cargo or the Arch User Repository.

Git activity maps you can use: heatmaps, churn, exports, and a no‑nonsense TUI. No dashboards. No hype. Just answers to: what changed, when, and by whom. cargo install gmap Requires a Git repo. Data is read locally; nothing leaves your machine. Tip: The Files view shows file‑type breakdowns for the selected period and overall, so you can spot what kinds of files are being touched. What it’s not: a general Git UI, blame replacement, or a web app. Bug reports, ideas, and small PRs welcome. Keep changes focused.

"Git who" – A new CLI tool for industrial-scale Git blaming2025 · github.com · ▲252I've always wanted a better way to explore the authorship data embedded in a Git commit log. I'm having fun building a CLI tool to do this. It's a bit like the "Contributors" tab on Github that shows you how many commits each contributor has made but much faster and with many more options. If you get a chance to try it out, please let me know. I'd love to hear feedback and suggestions. Thank you!

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…

Talanoa▲346Hi 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…

Kitten TTS is an open-source series of tiny and expressive text-to-speech models for on-device applications. We are excited to launch a preview of our smallest model, which is less than 25 MB. This model has 15M parameters. This release supports English text-to-speech applications in eight voices: four male and four female. The model is quantized to int8 + fp16, and it uses onnx for runtime. The model is designed to run literally anywhere eg. raspberry pi, low-end smartphones, wearables, browsers etc. No GPU required! We're releasing this to give early users a sense of the latency and voices…

I was wondering how I can arrange objects along a spherical helix path, and read some articles on it. I ended up learning about parametric equations again, and make this visualization to document what I learned: https://visualrambling.space/moving-objects-in-3d/ feel free to visit and let me know what you think!
