Hello Everyone! I'm Ezra, the developer behind GitGarden. I have been a programmer for several years now, but I only recently discovered Git at a hackathon. I instantly fell in love with the precise version control, and now I use Git/Github in every individual project I develop. However, the monotone black on white in the terminal bored me. The same Git commands became repetitive. I didn't like having to click around to find the git log graph. I tried most of the Github user interfaces, but they only focused on the functionality without the shine. So, I created GitGarden to add some beautiful art to my version control terminal. The project has many features: - procedural generation: each project is unique - ASCII art: the designs are made out of keyboard characters and have a fun retro feel - multiple plant types: render anything from a seedling to an oak tree - full environment: populate your garden with colorful bugs, anthills, and more - animated/colorized output: watch your tree grow in real time with ANSI terminal colors - Git integration: automatically parses real Git data to render garden - CLI friendly: runs solely in the terminal, no GUI needed If this looks interesting, it's right there to use on Github. Consider leaving a star if you enjoyed the project. Issues/pull requests on new features are always welcome!
