introducing rekap, an open source cli to recap any git repo

[abhivarde]

open any repo after days away and instantly see where you left off.

rekap shows:

• branch status
• last commit
• uncommitted files
• stash count
• language breakdown
• recent commits
• health grade from A to F

all in one clean terminal view.

to get started:

npx @abhivarde/rekap

would love feedback from the community on what else would make this useful in your daily git workflow

[amyegan]

Nice! This will help me with all the examples I use

[abhivarde]

love that if anything feels missing or you have ideas to make it better, happy to implement and improve it

quick update rekap is fully open source now for anyone who wants to explore, use, or contribute.

𝚛𝚎𝚔𝚊𝚙 v1.1.0: org intelligence

shipped a new feature. you can now scan any public GitHub org straight from your terminal.

command	result
rekap org <n>	top 8 recently updated
rekap org <n> --sort stars	top 8 most starred
rekap org <n> --sort forks	top 8 most forked

no token. no config. no auth. tested it on vercel-labs:

recently updated	most starred	most forked

Superb TUI!
I ran it on my website source code and it gave me an A for health score. Pretty proud of myself

[abhivarde]

Glad it helped! Appreciate you trying it out

[abhivarde]

just shipped rekap standup

rekap standup → today’s commits, cleaned up
rekap standup --week → this week
rekap standup --copy → paste-ready for slack

to get started, try:
~ 𝚗𝚙𝚡 @𝚊𝚋𝚑𝚒𝚟𝚊𝚛𝚍𝚎/𝚛𝚎𝚔𝚊𝚙

no api key. no config. just git.
