       | Thanks for sharing. That would be a nice additional example in
       | .NET with Andy TUI. The library is not Rust but there are a few
       | examples you might be interested in, including a HN client [2]
       | [3].

       | clarity" and the same fuzzy search, etc.
       | 
       | This repository here has a pretty exhaustive list of these
       | softwares: https://github.com/indigane/git-graph-drawing

       | Anyway, congratulations to the author for actually releasing
       | their work.

       | I think every popular Git client can do this, no?
       | 
       | I'm waiting for a Git client which can colour commits by
       | category/areas/files. It would be helpful to see which areas of
       | the codebase have the most commits. Especially useful if using
       | conventional commits (eg. fix: correct usage of foo) alongside
       | it.
       | 
       | Areas or files with a lot of commits tend to be sources of bugs
       | or indicate other things.
       | 
       | You can write a script to find this sort of thing, but that
       | requires you to remember to do it. If it was built in passively
       | to a Git client, I think a lot more would be revealed.
