Open Source Perl Git Software for Mac

Gitslave is a script for coordinated version control of large projects combining code from multiple independent repositories using Git. More flexible than traditional git submodules, gitslave provides a simple wrapper around command-line git that manages a directory tree with multiple subsidiary ("slave") git repositories in sub-directories of a "master" git repository. Any git command run from the "gits" wrapper will be performed in all the git repositories; for example gits checkout -b newbranch will create the new branch in all repositories. Gitslave has been used for mid-sized product development with many slave repositories (representing different programs and plugins), branches, tags, and developers; and for single-person repositories tracking groups of .emacs and .vim repositories (in the latter case, it is basically used to keep the slave repositories up to date via a single command).

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.
