Show HN: Git-walkthrough – Learn unfamiliar codebases by walking through history
github.comBuilt this because I kept getting lost trying to understand how codebases evolved. git-walkthrough lets you navigate through commits with arrow keys and view diffs between them as uncommitted changes in VS Code.
Just run npx git-walkthrough in any repo and step through the commit history. Press 'd' to toggle diff mode, and it shows you what changed between commits right in your editor.
Handy for: * Understanding how an unfamiliar codebase evolved * Code reviews where you want to step through changes * Learning from open source projects
Auto-restores your git state when you quit so nothing gets messed up.
