What is it?

Serie is a terminal application that shows a git commit graph in a visual form, similar to the output of git log --graph --all. It uses the image display protocols of supported terminal emulators to draw the graph, so branches and merges are easier to follow than in plain text output.

The project is aimed at developers who find git log --graph hard to read and would rather browse history without a GUI. It focuses on commit graph browsing rather than full Git operations, and it is built with Ratatui. Installation is available through Cargo.

Supported image protocols are iTerm2 and kitty, with kitty's Unicode placeholder mode also supported; tmux works only with that placeholder mode. Windows is not officially supported, and Sixel is not supported.

Key features

  • 01Renders commit graphs as images in supported terminals.
  • 02Supports iTerm2 and kitty image protocols.
  • 03Offers chronological or topological commit ordering.
  • 04Allows a primary branch to be kept in the leftmost column.
  • 05Supports custom keybindings and user commands such as git diff or vim.

Use cases

  • Reviewing branch and merge history in a repository over SSH or in a terminal workflow.
  • Quickly inspecting how branches relate without leaving the terminal.
  • Browsing a large repository's history with a limited commit count.
