git-cal is a Perl script that renders a GitHub-style contributions calendar directly in the terminal, showing commit activity per day with color-shaded blocks. It supports ASCII or Unicode block characters as alternatives to ANSI colors and can be configured via git config.
Use cases
- view my git commit history as a calendar in the terminal
- display a GitHub-style contributions graph without visiting GitHub
- visualize commit activity per day for a local repository
- show commit heatmap using ASCII or unicode characters
- track coding streaks from the command line
When to choose
- you want a GitHub contributions-style visualization without leaving the terminal
- you work in SSH or headless environments with no browser access
- you prefer lightweight single-script tools with no heavy dependencies
When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool with recent updates or new features
- you want interactive or web-based dashboards with drill-down details
- your project is not a git repository
