Git Visualizer

Better than git log. I am not a fan of the user-interface of the command git-log. For people like us who like to live inside the terminal, git log makes us have second thoughts. Hence, I created Git Visualiser, a better TUI so that we don't need to use git log command anymore.

Features

1. View what has changed in the commit.

2. Also tells you if the file has been added/deleted or modified.

3. Navigate between different branches (press b).

Usage
