🛠 What is git-pulse?

git-pulse is a fast TUI (Terminal User Interface) built using Ratatui and Crossterm. It serves as a unified terminal control panel for GitHub, allowing developers to discover trending repositories, monitor project stats, and navigate through repos without opening a browser tab.

Key Features:

Terminal-Native GitHub Dashboard: View trending repositories across various programming languages.
Live In-Memory Filtering: Press / to instantly search and filter repos by name, topic, or language.
Custom Color Themes: Toggle between clean visual themes (including Dracula and custom HEX palettes) with T.
Instant Repo Actions: Copy clone commands directly (c) or launch repositories in your browser (o).
Keyboard-First Navigation: Smoothly switch tabs (Tab) and jump between lists (j/k).

🚀 Quick Installation

You can easily install git-pulse via cargo:

cargo install git-pulse

Or clone the repository and build from source:

git clone [https://github.com/weaztoven/git-pulse.git](https://github.com/weaztoven/git-pulse.git)
cd git-pulse
cargo build --release

⚡ How to Use It

Once launched with git-pulse, you can control the entire dashboard using intuitive hotkeys:

Key	Action
`Tab`	Switch between Watchlist, Trending, and My Repos
`/`	Start live filtering
`Esc`	Clear filter / exit search mode
`T`	Change color theme
`c`	Copy clone URL to clipboard
`o`	Open current repository in browser
`q`	Quit application
