Introduction

Serie (/zéːriə/) is a TUI application that uses the terminal emulators' image display protocol to render commit graphs like git log --graph --all.

(This demo shows Ratatui repository!)

Why?

While some users prefer to use Git via CLI, they often rely on a GUI or feature-rich TUI to view commit logs. Others may find git log --graph sufficient.

Personally, I found the output from git log --graph difficult to read, even with additional options. Learning complex tools just to view logs seemed cumbersome.

Goals

• Provide a rich git log --graph experience in the terminal.
• Offer commit graph-centric browsing of Git repositories.

Non-Goals

• Implement a fully-featured Git client.
• Create a TUI application with a complex UI.
• Works in any terminal environment.
