Reference](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/github.com/pataar/gast.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/pataar/gast)\n[![Release](https://img.shields.io/github/v/release/pataar/gast)](https://github.com/pataar/gast/releases/latest)\n[![License:

polling.\n\n![gast screenshot](assets/screenshot.png)\n\n## Features\n\n- Live-updating feed of all GitLab project activity (pushes, merges, comments, issues, approvals)\n- Color-coded events with per-author coloring\n- Open events or projects directly in the browser\n- @mention notifications (in-app badge + optional desktop alerts with sound and click-to-open)\n- Filter by project or group\n- Mouse and keyboard navigation\n\n### Desktop notifications (macOS)\n\nNotifications require [terminal-notifier](https://github.com/julienXX/terminal-notifier):\n\n```bash\nbrew install terminal-notifier\n```\n\nThe `gast configure` wizard will offer to install it automatically when you enable notifications.\n\n## Install\n\n### Homebrew\n\n```bash\nbrew install pataar/tap/gast\n```\n\n### Go\n\n```bash\ngo install github.com/pataar/gast@latest\n```\n\n### Binary releases\n\nDownload pre-built binaries from the [Releases](https://github.com/pataar/gast/releases) page.\n\n### From source\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/pataar/gast.git\ncd gast\ngo build -o gast .\n```\n\n## Quick start\n\nRun the interactive configuration wizard:\n\n```bash\ngast configure\n```\n\nThis prompts for your GitLab host, personal access token, poll interval, page size, full project path preference, and desktop notifications — validates everything (including a test API call) — and writes the config to `~/.config/gast/config.toml`.\n\nThen start the TUI:\n\n```bash\ngast\n```\n\n## Configuration\n\nConfig file location: `~/.config/gast/config.toml` (follows [XDG Base Directory](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/) on Linux/macOS, `%AppData%` on Windows).\n\n```toml\ngitlab_host = \"https://gitlab.example.com\"\nnotifications = false\npage_size = 50\npoll_interval = \"30s\"\nshow_full_project_path = false\ntoken = \"glpat-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\"\n```\n\nThe token needs the `read_api` scope (or `api`).\n\n### Environment variable overrides\n\n| Variable | Config key |\n|---|---|\n| `GITLAB_ACTIVITY_HOST` | `gitlab_host` |\n| `GITLAB_ACTIVITY_TOKEN` | `token` |\n| `GITLAB_ACTIVITY_INTERVAL` | `poll_interval` |\n| `GITLAB_ACTIVITY_PAGE_SIZE` | `page_size` |\n\n### CLI flags\n\n```\n--config             Path to config file\n--host               GitLab host URL\n--token              GitLab personal access token\n--interval           Poll interval (e.g. 30s, 1m)\n--full-project-path  Show full project path instead of short name\n--project            Filter to projects matching these names (comma-separated)\n--group              Filter to groups matching these prefixes (comma-separated)\n--demo               Run with fake data (no GitLab connection)\n```\n\nPriority order: CLI flags \u003e environment variables \u003e config file \u003e defaults.\n\n### Filtering\n\nShow only events from specific projects or groups:\n\n```bash\ngast --project notification-service,dashboard\ngast --group acme/backend\n```\n\nProjects match by substring, groups match by path prefix.\n\n## Keybindings\n\n| Key | Action |\n|---|---|\n| `j` / `k` | Select next / previous event |\n| `g` / `G` | Select first / last event |\n| `o` / `Enter` | Open selected event in browser |\n| `p` | Open project page in browser |\n| `c` | Clear events |\n| `r` | Force refresh |\n| `t` | Toggle relative / absolute timestamps |\n| `?` | Toggle help |\n| `q` / `Ctrl+C` | Quit |\n\nMouse wheel scrolling is also supported.\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n### Notifications not showing (macOS)\n\nIf you have `notifications = true` in your config but don't see desktop alerts:\n\n1. **Check notification permissions** — Go to **System Settings \u003e Notifications \u003e terminal-notifier** and make sure the alert style is set to **Banners** or **Alerts** (not \"None\").\n2. **Check Focus mode** — A Focus mode (Do Not Disturb, Work, etc.) may be suppressing notifications.\n3. **Verify terminal-notifier is installed** — Run `terminal-notifier -title test -message hello` in your terminal. If the command is not found, install it with `brew install terminal-notifier`.\n\n### Notifications not showing (Linux)\n\nMake sure `notify-send` is available (usually part of the `libnotify` package).\n\n## License\n\n[MIT](LICENSE)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpataar%2Fgast","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fpataar%2Fgast","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fpataar%2Fgast/lists"}
