README
# GitHub Yule Log
A [GitHub CLI](https://cli.github.com/) extension that turns your terminal into a festive, animated Yule log :fire:
Enjoy your Git logs over toasted marshmallows and your favorite beverage :beers:
Vibe-coded with GitHub Copilot Agent and GPT-5.1 the week before Christmas 2025.
## Requirements
- `gh` (GitHub CLI) installed and configured
- A modern terminal that supports ANSI colors
## Installation
```bash
gh extension install leereilly/gh-yule-log
```
For local development:
```bash
git clone leereilly/gh-yule-log
cd gh-yule-log
gh extension install .
```
## Usage
Run the extension with:
```bash
gh yule-log
```
And thanks to [@shplok](https://github.com/shplok) via [#7](https://github.com/leereilly/gh-yule-log/pull/7) you can now press ↑ or ↓ to adjust flame intensity.
Try the experimental `--contribs` flag to see a Yule log themed around your GitHub contributions:
```bash
gh yule-log --contribs
```
## Inspiration
I was surfing Netflix the other night and was astonished at how many [branded Yule logs there were](https://youtu.be/ytMdeo9Re1k?si=Fowy4F-40MmdwMcp). I figured GitHub should get in on that action! Also inspired by [@msimpson's curses-based ASCII art fire art from back in the day](https://gist.github.com/msimpson/1096950).
