git-heatmap is a command-line utility that generates a customizable heatmap from the commit history of local Git repositories.
It’s designed for quickly visualizing repository activity from Git data, making it easier to see when development work happened and how active a project has been over time. Written in Rust, it’s distributed as a Cargo crate and works independently of hosted forges such as GitHub or Codeberg.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Generates heatmaps from local Git repository history.
