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
