Git Extras
GIT utilities, repo summary, repl, changelog population, and more
GIT extra utilities, like repo summary, repl, changelog population, author commit percentages and more. Supports several sub-commands such as git-ignore, git-setup, git-summary, git-changelog, git-effort, etc. Some commands require extra dependencies which are unavailable in some platforms. You may need to install them manually. Note that only the Homebrew package is maintained by the git-extras developers directly. Other packages are maintained by the distribution's packagers or third-party volunteers. Installing from Homebrew will not give you the option omit certain git-extras if they conflict with existing git aliases. To have this option, build from source. -

Gradle Git Version
A Gradle plugin that uses `git describe` to produce a version string
This Gradle plugin derives your project’s version directly from the state of the Git repository, turning tags and commits into consistent semantic versions. It reads the most recent tag, the number of commits since that tag, and whether the working tree is dirty, then composes a deterministic version string. Teams can enforce patterns (for example, treating non-tagged builds as snapshots) and keep CI builds reproducible without hardcoding versions in build.gradle. The plugin integrates with Gradle’s project.version, so the computed version flows automatically into publishing, packaging, and artifact naming. It works well in branching workflows by incorporating branch or distance information, making debug artifacts easy to trace back to source. By centralizing version logic around Git history, it eliminates manual bumps and reduces mistakes when cutting releases across multiple modules. -

git-bug
Distributed, offline-first bug tracker embedded in git, with bridges
git-bug is fully embedded in git, you only need your git repository to have a bug tracker. git-bug is distributed. Use your normal git remote to collaborate, push and pull your bugs! git-bug works offline, in a plane or under the sea? Keep reading and writing bugs! It prevents vendor lock-in: your usual service is down or went bad? You already have a full backup. It is fast, listing bugs or opening them is a matter of milliseconds. git-bug doesn't pollute your project, no files are added in your project. git-bug integrates with your tooling, use the UI you like (CLI, terminal, web) or integrate with your existing tools through the CLI or the GraphQL API. git-bug bridges to other bug trackers. Use bridges to import and export to other trackers. An interactive terminal UI is available using the command git bug termui to browse and edit bugs. -

GitButler
The GitButler version control client, backed by Git
GitButler is a modern Git-based version control client that pairs a graphical desktop experience with a complementary command-line tool, aiming to make everyday change management easier than traditional Git workflows. It keeps Git compatibility at the core, meaning your work still maps to commits, branches, and pushes to standard Git servers, but it rethinks how you interact with that underlying model. The project is designed around developer productivity, emphasizing smoother workflows for handling multiple streams of work, reviewing changes, and recovering from mistakes without the usual friction. It also positions itself for AI-assisted development patterns, where tooling needs to support rapid iteration and parallel work while staying understandable and reversible. By offering both GUI and CLI surfaces, it can fit into different team preferences, from visual-first change review to scriptable automation. -

Gitlogue
A cinematic Git commit replay tool for the terminal
Gitlogue provides a fun and creative command-line tool that turns your Git commit history into an animated replay, displaying your commits as if someone were typing the changes in real time with cinematic flair. When you run this tool in the terminal, it visually replays diffs line by line, highlights syntax, and shows changes evolving in a way that feels like watching a code story unfold, which can be entertaining and useful for reviewing history or showcasing progress. It builds on typical Git data but reshapes it into a compelling narrative with visual appeal, making it great for demos, teaching, or just savoring your development journey. The tool is standalone and designed to be easy to install and run, so users don’t need complex setups to enjoy animated commit histories. Gitlogue adds atmosphere and personality to otherwise dry version control logs, and it supports terminal-friendly output that respects your existing workflow. -

Gitmal
A static page generator for repos
Gitmal is a static page generator that turns the contents of a Git repository into a clean, navigable HTML website, making it easier to share or showcase code outside of traditional Git hosting platforms. It reads repository metadata including files, commits, branches, and markdown, and produces a fully static set of pages with syntax-highlighted code, commit history, branch lists, and rendered documentation, so viewers can explore projects as if browsing a lightweight curated site. Designed for simplicity and performance, gitmal can be run locally or via a Docker container, and works across repositories of any size, producing fully self-contained output ready to be deployed to static web hosts. It supports themes and custom styles, allowing creators to personalize the look and feel of the generated site. For developers who want to archive, document, or display their code in a non-interactive context, gitmal provides a straightforward and configurable solution. -

git-flow-next
Git extensions to provide high-level repository operations
git-flow-next is a branching model and a set of command-line extensions tailored to enforce that branching model for Git repositories. The underlying workflow was first described in 2010 and is designed around two long-lived branches (master (or main) for production-ready code, and develop for integration) and multiple supporting short-lived branches (feature, release, hotfix) for day-to-day development. With git-flow, each type of branch has explicit purpose and merge rules: features merge back into develop, release branches prepare towards master, and hotfixes branch off master for urgent repairs. The repository you referenced provides the actual shell scripts (and wrappers) implementing sub‐commands like git flow feature start, git flow release finish, etc., making the workflow operational rather than purely conceptual. -

git-cz
Semantic Git commits
git-cz is a command-line tool designed to guide developers in writing structured, conventional commits. Rather than manually typing commit messages, this tool prompts you to select commit types, scopes, and write descriptions according to a defined format. It integrates with the popular commitizen ecosystem so that when you run npx git-cz or similar, you are prompted through a workflow instead of free-form message. The project emphasises consistency and readability in commit history, helping teams enforce semantic or conventional commit message formats. It supports custom configuration (for example via a changelog.config.js file) so you can adapt the prompts or types to your project’s conventions. Because it is open source (licensed under Unlicense) it can be freely integrated within CI pipelines or commit hooks to standardise message formats. -
