tmtg is a tool that navigates you through the git history so you can learn from it

What is the idea?

I try to learn rust at the moment which brings me to two problems.

First: I need experimental projects which I can use to do so. Second: The docs are very limited. They are good but I need practical advice how other programmers use the language and it seems that there are not many teachers out there.

So I got an idea: What if you would be able to clone a github repository and then "step through" every committed set. You could walk through a project this way and try to interpret the changes, and maybe try to write an improved version in another CLion/VSCode instance at the same time.

Usage

Clone a git repository to your disk, then run inside:

tmtg ./

• the parameter is the path to the repository you want to "discover"
• tmtg will show you what position you are currently in (e.g. 1/200 commits).
• It will also ensure you have a clean working directory each time you press + or - (which will move you up or down the commits).
• It will show the current commit message as well as a list of changed files.
