git-cal generates a terminal-friendly contribution calendar for your Git activity, echoing the familiar heatmap seen on hosting sites but rendered in plain text. It scans your repositories’ commit history and aggregates changes per day, then prints a compact grid that highlights streaks and quieter periods. The output works in standard shells, making it handy for dashboards, status emails, or a lightweight snapshot of productivity without opening a browser. Options typically let you choose time ranges, color intensity (where terminals support it), and which repositories to include. Because it reads local Git metadata, it respects your privacy and can include private work you don’t push to public remotes. For developers who like quick visual feedback in the CLI, git-cal turns raw commit timestamps into an at-a-glance activity portrait.
