Tinycare-tui

Small terminal app that shows git commits from the last 24 hours and week, current weather, some self care advice, and you current todo list tasks inspired by @notwaldorf tiny-care-terminal

About

I started this project to accomplish a few different goals

1. Teach myself the basics of the Go language
2. Practice leveraging generative AI tools like copilot and chatgpt for development
3. Create a fun terminal app

Installation

go install github.com/DMcP89/tinycare-tui@latest
