A Gradle plugin that uses `git describe` to produce a version string
...The plugin integrates with Gradle’s project.version, so the computed version flows automatically into publishing, packaging, and artifact naming. It works well in branching workflows by incorporating branch or distance information, making debug artifacts easy to trace back to source. By centralizing version logic around Git history, it eliminates manual bumps and reduces mistakes when cutting releases across multiple modules.
An interactive way to peruse your git history from the terminal
...You can install it by simply copying the git-recall script into any existing path (e.g. /usr/local/bin) or create your own directory and add it to the PATH variable. Once the commits are displayed, you can use either the arrow keys or j/k to switch between commits, press TAB or e to expand/reduce the commit's diff or q to quit.
