As developers, we spend hours (days… weeks) building, refactoring, and fixing bugs — but when it comes to writing a README or portfolio case study, most of us freeze.
Commit histories capture the real journey — the pivots, the struggles, the breakthroughs. But git log doesn’t exactly read like a story.
That’s why I built GitNarrative
🚀
What It Does
Connect your GitHub repo (public or private).
AI reads through your commit history.
Generates different story styles:
📄 Professional README (clean, usable immediately)
🧑💼 Portfolio Case Study (great for job seekers/freelancers)
⚙️ Technical Deep Dive (for your fellow devs)
🔔 Weekly Digest (coming soon, perfect for teams)
Why I Built It
All my repos had stories to tell — the bug fixes, the reworks, the pivots — but I rarely wrote them down. I wanted a tool that would turn that messy history into something compelling and shareable.
Try It Free
It’s live at gitnarrative.io
.
No paywall for the basics — just sign in with GitHub and try it on one of your repos.
Looking for Feedback 🙏
Was the generated story useful or portfolio-ready?
Which style did you prefer (README vs Case Study vs Technical)?
What export formats would make your life easier (Markdown, PDF, HTML)?
Would love to hear what you think — and if you give it a try, drop your repo link + story in the comments so we can all see how your project “reads” when told like a narrative.
