## What it is
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
