git-recall is a shell-based interactive terminal tool for browsing git commit history, with filtering by author, date range, branch, and paths. It presents commits in a navigable list where users can expand diffs with keyboard shortcuts.

Use cases

• review what I committed yesterday from the terminal
• browse a teammate's commits from the last 5 days
• interactively expand commit diffs in git history
• filter git log by author and date range
• see recent commits on a specific branch
• recall what contributors did on a repo this week

When to choose

• you want a friendlier, interactive alternative to git log in the terminal
• you need to quickly review recent commits by author or date
• you prefer lightweight shell tools with minimal dependencies

When to avoid

• you need a GUI or graphical git history viewer
• you are on Windows without a Bash 4.3+ environment
• you need advanced git log features like graph visualization or searching
