Git Radar
Terminal toolkit that surfaces repository health, dependency vulnerabilities, and code quality metrics in real time. Helps developers make better decisions faster.
Why We Built It
Developers spend time context-switching between tools: git status, dependency checkers, linters, test runners, and deployment dashboards. By the time you realize something is broken, you've already spent 30 minutes digging. Git Radar consolidates signals into one place: your terminal.
We needed a tool that:
- Runs instant checks on your branch: outdated dependencies, vulnerabilities, test failures
- Integrates directly with git workflows, no manual steps
- Surfaces issues early, before they reach code review
- Stays lightweight—runs in milliseconds, doesn't slow down your shell
- Works offline when needed, syncs when network is available
What It Does
Git Radar runs as a git hook and background daemon. It continuously monitors your repository and displays status in the terminal prompt.
Developer Workflow Integration
Before You Code
You clone the repo. Git Radar automatically runs checks in the background. By the time you finish opening your editor, you already see if there are known issues to be aware of.
While You Code
As you save files, Git Radar runs linters and type checkers. If you introduced an error, you know instantly instead of waiting for CI to fail.
Before You Commit
The pre-commit hook runs tests and checks. If something fails, you see the exact issue and can fix it before the commit even happens.
Before You Push
Git Radar compares your branch to main, flagging conflicts or outdated patterns. You catch issues before reviewers see them.
Design for Speed
Git Radar runs fast because it's smart about what it checks:
- Incremental checks: Only scan files you changed, not the entire codebase
- Caching: Results from successful checks are cached and reused
- Async background work: Heavy checks (dependency audit, type checking) run in the background while you keep coding
- Local first: Works offline with cached data; syncs when network is available
- Parallel checks: Runs independent checks simultaneously to maximize throughput
Results & Impact
Developers catch their own mistakes before review, code review focuses on logic instead of lint issues, and CI pipelines are faster because fewer commits need rebuilding.
