This repository was vibe coded by Claude 3.5 Sonnet in Zed on May 8th 2025. It was done as a learning experience so that I could familiarize myself with letting the agent do all the coding. The end result isn't exactly as I had imagined but it got decently close.
The original prompt was
This is a blank project called
go-git-tui. I don't have a ton of experience with Go, but I've been wanting to learn. What I want to build is a TUI (Terminal UI) application that has one function, which is to view the git commits of a repository in a carousel fashion. Imagine each commit being a fixed width wide and we display all the information about it vertically. At the bottom of the box, I want a colored dot. If you take the 6 characters of a commit sha, it is a valid hex color so the colored dot will be based off that. I want all the dots displayed on the screen to have a line connecting them together. The line should be a gradient of the two hex colors. Finally, we will show as many commits as possible on the screen (based on the width of each commit box and the width of the terminal window) and users should be able to scroll using the arrow keys.Before you write any code, can you come up with a plan for implementing this project?
This is the result
