Gitcast

git diff → published post. under 60 seconds.

Privacy-first developer tool that captures your coding session via hotkey, generates AI-powered social media posts, and publishes them — without breaking your flow.

Works out of the box with zero setup. Bring your own API keys anytime for unlimited usage.

pip install gitcast
gitcast

Press Ctrl+Alt+S to capture. Open source. MIT license.

Quick Start

Install

pip install gitcast

Run

gitcast

That's it. Gitcast works immediately using a shared demo API key — no setup required to try it.

Dashboard opens automatically at http://localhost:8000

Press Ctrl+Alt+S (or Ctrl+Shift+P) from anywhere — VS Code, terminal, browser — to capture your screen and git diff, then generate a post.

Add your own API key (optional)

The shared key has rate limits. For unlimited usage, add your own free key:

gitcast --setup

This opens your .env file. Add any of these (all free):

Provider	Get Key	Free Tier
Groq	console.groq.com	12k tokens/min
DeepSeek	platform.deepseek.com	$5 credit
Gemini	aistudio.google.com	1M tokens/day

Your key always takes priority over the shared key.
