Browse local git repos in a github-inspired web UI.

goggles path/to/repo

Status

Very WIP. Has barely working screens for:

• Tree view
• Log view (commit history)
• Show blob

Next steps:

• pre-build goggles binary for windows, osx, linux (in github actions)
• install instructions
• make it look nicer + work better
  • filter log by author
  • tags, branches, parent and children commit navigation
  • line numbers + syntax highlighting
• improve performance
  • immediatly resolve ref to sha
  • use sha for all subsequent git ops
  • cache git output
  • parse git cli output in golang?

Maybe later:

• package as wails app
• run as webserver

Dev

start go server:

go run server.go ~/path/to/repo

start vite server:

pnpm i
pnpm dev

visit http://localhost:5173/
