Turn your Git history into a human story

ContextPulse

Turn your Git history into a human story.

ContextPulse is a CLI tool that analyzes your Git repository and generates beautiful, human-readable activity reports. Instead of reading through dozens of raw commits, get a clear summary of what happened, when, and why.

Features

• Smart Summary — Automatically detects what you've been working on (bug fixes, new features, improvements)
• Category Breakdown — Groups changes by type (HTML, Python, JavaScript, Config, etc.) with colors
• Hot Files — Shows which files changed the most (your "hot spots")
• Daily Activity Chart — Visual bar chart showing your most active days
• Directory Breakdown — See which folders got the most attention (great for monorepos)
• Multiple Time Ranges — Today, this week, this month, custom days, or since a specific date
• Author Filtering — Focus on one contributor's work
• Branch Comparison — Compare what changed between two branches
• Interactive Mode — Menu-driven interface, no flags to memorize
• Export — Save reports as Markdown or JSON
