About Serie
Serie is a TUI application for viewing Git history. It renders commit graphs like the output of git log --graph --all. Instead of drawing the graph with text characters, it uses the terminal emulator's image display protocol, so branches and merges appear as clean lines.
It is written in Rust and is configured through a file with a published JSON schema. It is intended for people who do most of their Git work on the command line but want a clearer picture of branch history.
Strengths
- Renders the commit graph as images rather than ASCII characters
- Shows all branches, like git log --graph --all
- Configuration file comes with a JSON schema
Limitations
- Needs a terminal emulator that supports an image display protocol
- Focused on viewing history rather than performing Git operations
