wtf is gitty?

gitty is a command-line tool that gives you a quick snapshot of what's happening in your git projects. Instead of opening a browser and navigating to GitHub, GitLab, or Gitea to check on open issues, pending pull requests, and recent changes, you can see all of that information directly in your terminal window. To use it, you run the tool and point it at a project folder on your computer or a repository URL. It then pulls data from your hosting provider's API and displays recent activity in a clean summary. You can customize how much information you see, like limiting it to the last 10 commits or 10 open issues. The tool also has a handy shortcut: if you run it with a specific issue or pull request number, it will open that item directly in your web browser. This tool is built for developers and project managers who spend a lot of time in the terminal and want to reduce context-switching. For example, if you are managing multiple open-source projects, you can use the namespace feature to get a bird's-eye view of every repository under a specific organization or user account, rather than checking each one individually. To function, the tool requires you to set up an access token from your hosting provider, which acts as a permission key for the tool to read your project data securely. The README doesn't go into detail on how the underlying API connections work, but it notes support for GitHub, GitLab, and Gitea. It is written in Go, which allows it to be distributed as a standalone binary for most major operating systems.
