## What it is
GRV is a terminal-based ncurses interface for viewing Git repositories, allowing refs, commits, and diffs to be browsed, searched, and filtered via a query language. It supports customizable tabs, splits, themes, keybindings, and live filesystem monitoring for automatic UI updates.

## Use cases
- browse git commit history in the terminal
- filter commits and refs with a query language
- view commit diffs without leaving the terminal
- visualize a git commit graph in a TUI
- customize a git viewer with themes and vi keybindings

## When to choose
- you want a rich terminal UI for exploring git repositories
- you prefer vi-like keybindings and customizable tabs/splits
- you need automatic UI updates when the repository changes

## When to avoid
- you only need simple git commands in the terminal
- you want a graphical git client
- you need actively maintained software with recent releases

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, terminal-ui, version-control
- domain: developer-tools, version-control
- platform: bsd, cli, go
- tags: git, tui, ncurses, repository-viewer, vi-keybindings, command-line, linux, macos
