About:
GitCal is a command-line utility that visualizes Git contribution history in a calendar format similar to GitHub's contribution graph. It parses local Git repository data to generate an ASCII-based heatmap of commits over time. This tool enables developers to track their activity and progress without needing an internet connection or a web browser.
Key Features:
  • Generates ASCII-based contribution calendars
  • Works offline by parsing local Git repositories
  • Supports customizable date ranges for analysis
  • Provides quick visual feedback in the terminal
Use Cases:
  • Reviewing personal commit history and productivity streaks
  • Generating activity reports for local projects
  • Tracking progress during offline development sessions
Alternatives:
  • GitHub CLI – Provides official API access to remote GitHub data, whereas GitCal focuses on local repository history.
  • cal – Displays standard calendar grids but lacks commit activity visualization.
