Onefetch produces a concise terminal overview of a local Git repository. Instead of opening several Git commands or a hosted project dashboard, a developer can see a snapshot of the project and its development characteristics in one formatted display.
The program combines repository metadata with statistics derived from the working tree and commit history. Its artwork and output controls make it suitable both for routine inspection of unfamiliar codebases and for screenshots shared in technical documentation.
The utility is especially handy when switching between many cloned projects. A glance at the current branch, language breakdown and contributor figures supplies context that would otherwise require several commands. Its selectable presentation also allows users to keep only those fields relevant to their workflow.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features

- Operates on local repository information without relying on a remote hosting service.
- Lets users customise which fields appear, how they are styled and how the summary is arranged.
- Can ignore specified files and directories when calculating language and code statistics.
- Offers machine-readable JSON and YAML output for use in scripts and other tools.
- Cross-platform support – runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
