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.
