Dear Git Team, I am devtracer on GitHub, and I recently reached out to Git’s GitHub page to contribute a project of mine to the community. During this process, I had the privilege of receiving guidance from dscho, who kindly explained how to open pull requests and share ideas in a respectful and constructive manner. Following their advice, I’m reaching out through this email to share my project idea and verify whether any similar projects exist within the community. For reference, here is a link to our prior conversation: Git Pull Request #1877 https://github.com/git/git/pull/1877 The project I am proposing is called gitpanel (a working title subject to change). Gitpanel is designed to provide a built-in terminal user interface (TUI) for viewing and managing Git and GitHub accounts directly from the terminal. The key features include: Profile Overview: Displays an ASCII-styled version of the user’s GitHub profile picture (similar to Neofetch), along with their username and email address. *Account Management* : Allows users to easily add or update their account details, such as username and email. *Project Preview*: Provides quick access to a user’s GitHub projects, enhancing convenience for developers. The motivation behind this project lies in its potential to simplify access and usability. By running a single command (gitpanel), users can: *Streamline Setup*: Guide first-time Git users on a device through logging in to their GitHub account and configuring their username and email. *Boost Accessibility*: Offer an intuitive TUI interface that presents account information and projects in a clear, organized way, all within a terminal environment. I think gitpanel can complement the Git ecosystem by enhancing usability and accessibility for users who prefer terminal-based workflows. In this email, I have addressed the questions: What does this project aim to accomplish? and Why does it function as it does now? I would greatly appreciate your feedback and insights, as well as any information on similar projects that might exist within the community. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to collaborating further! Best regards, devtracer (GitHub: https://github.com/devtracer)
