keifu
A TUI for viewing Git commit graphs in the terminal.
keifu (系譜) is a TUI tool for viewing Git commit graphs in the terminal, built with Rust + ratatui.
I had been happily using the VS Code Git Graph extension, but as i moved more of my workflow to the CLI for Claude Code, i wanted something with the same feel. Install via cargo install keifu or brew install trasta298/tap/keifu.
design notes
- readable graph. Instead of
git log --graph, branches are color-coded and drawn with a clean Unicode graph so the structure pops at a glance. - keep it small. Only checkout, branch create/delete, and fetch. It is not a full Git client — fine-grained operations are left to Claude Code.
- narrow-terminal friendly. Layout stays usable in split panes and small windows.
- no image protocol. Pure Unicode line drawing, so it works on Windows Terminal too.
