## Project history and usage

gitlogue is a Rust terminal application that replays Git commit history as an animated, cinematic view of code changes. It belongs to the family of terminal visualization tools rather than build or release automation.

### Project history

The repository was created in November 2025 by unhappychoice. Its README presents the project as a cinematic Git commit replay tool with typing animation, syntax highlighting, file tree transitions, themes, and a screensaver mode.

Early releases quickly added practical visualization features, including a diff subcommand, theme additions, file-specific speed rules, date filtering, and more language support through tree-sitter.

### Adoption history

Because gitlogue is young, its adoption history is thinner than long-lived Git tools. Its early visibility comes from GitHub interest, crates.io distribution, Homebrew packaging, Arch and Nix entries, and terminal-tool showcases referenced by the README.

### How it is used

Practitioners use gitlogue for demos, teaching, presentations, content creation, ambient terminal displays, and exploring how a repository changed over time. Common options select a commit, range, author, date window, theme, typing speed, or ignore file.

### Why package nerds care

gitlogue is package-nerd interesting as a modern Rust TUI shipped through Cargo, Homebrew, Nix, Arch, and an install script soon after its initial repository creation. It shows how fast small terminal tools can become multi-channel packages when the binary is self-contained.

### Timeline

- 2025: The unhappychoice/gitlogue repository was created.
- 2025: v0.5.0 added date filtering and additional language support.
- 2026: v0.7.0 added a diff subcommand for working tree changes.
- 2026: v0.9.0 added more syntax-highlighting support and language injection handling.

### Related projects

- GitType, from the same author, is listed as a related Git visualization and coding project.
- Terminal screensaver projects such as cbonsai, cmatrix, and pipes.sh are named in the README as neighboring terminal-display tools.
