`ghx` provides an alternative to GitHub's UI for viewing commit logs between

git tags.

🤔 Why does this exist?

---

I often need to view commit logs between two git tags for GitHub hosted

repositories. While GitHub's UI allows comparing refs, doing it for git tags is

a bit tedious. Additionally, comparing tags for multiple repositories involves a

lot of clicks. To simplify this process, I built `ghx`.

Everything that `ghx` does can be achieved locally using `git`; the goal is to

access commit logs quickly without having to clone a repository, or pull

changes, or run `git tag` to discover tags.

⚡️ Usage

---

```text

$ ghx serve -h

Serve ghx's web interface

Usage: ghx serve [OPTIONS]

Options:

  -o, --owner        Owner to show results for

  -t, --owner-type   Owner type [default: user] [possible values: user, org]

  -T, --theme        Theme to use [default: dark] [possible values: light, dark]

  -p, --port        Port to use

  -s, --skip-opening         Whether to skip opening the front-end in the browser

  -h, --help                 Print help (see more with '--help')

```

🔑 Authentication

---

You can have `ghx` make authenticated calls to GitHub on your behalf in either

of two ways:

- Have an authenticated instance of [gh](https://github.com/cli/cli) available

  in your `PATH` (recommended).

- Provide a valid Github token via the environment variable `GH_TOKEN`
