Gitlogue is a CLI that turns your Git commits into a typing-style replay.

It visualizes diffs line by line, shows the file tree, and plays back each edit as if it were typed in real time.

Key points

• Realistic typing animation

• Syntax-highlighted diffs

• File-tree view

• Replay any commit

• Self-contained CLI

Demo video is in the README.

Finally some external tooling to justify my microcommit habit. (They will play in order here, presumably, instead of the top-to-bottom per-file playback of large commits).

Really nice - thanks for sharing.

This is cool! It feels fresh and new.

This looks really cute. I wonder if it'd help with reviews when people have strange PR's

I like it! It's a neat idea :)

Actually, looks really cool! Creative idea.

is it able to actually discern the order in which the code was written? would be cool if not to augment it or create a parallel to to actually track this in the manner the code author actually did to write the code - I wonder which functions he/she went to, how he/she wrote code, how long they paused to think, and even what they were thinking!

This is insanely helpful for debugging other people's code or code you've long since forgotten.
