git-sim is a Python CLI tool that visually simulates Git operations in your own repositories, generating an image or animated video of what a command would do. It mirrors Git's command-line syntax so simulating commands like merge or rebase feels familiar.

Use cases

  • visualize what a git command will do before running it
  • simulate git merge or rebase as a dry run
  • create git diagrams for team documentation
  • make animated videos explaining git commands
  • help visual learners understand git internals

When to choose

  • you want to preview the effect of a git command without mutating your repo
  • you're teaching or learning git and want visual explanations
  • you need shareable images or videos of git workflows

When to avoid

  • you need to actually execute git operations rather than visualize them
  • you want a GUI-based git client
  • you need a lightweight tool without Python/Manim dependencies
