ingit

Local git history & graph viewer that runs in your browser.

Install

npm install -g @ingit/cli

No runtime dependencies — the binary is self-contained (the Bun runtime is embedded). Prebuilt binaries are provided for Linux (x64/arm64), macOS (x64/arm64), and Windows (x64).

Local testing from this repo

Build the host binary and register the CLI package with Bun:

bun run --filter '@ingit/cli' release linux-x64
cd apps/cli
bun link

After that, ingit should resolve from ~/.bun/bin:

command -v ingit
ingit --version
ingit --help

When CLI code changes, rebuild the binary from the repo root:

bun run --filter '@ingit/cli' release linux-x64

You only need to run bun link again if the package/link setup changes.

On Windows, use win32-x64 as the release target. The generated executable is apps/cli/release/cli-win32-x64/ingit.exe.

Usage

ingit                 # scan the current folder for repos, open the UI
