 __Git tools and sites__
 
++ [diff-modulo-base](https://git.sr.ht/~nhaehnle/diff-modulo-base)
+  is a tool that allows you to compare the relevant changes
+  of two versions of a rebased branch given three input diffs:
+  two _base_ diffs that show the changes since the respective merge bases
+  and a _target_ diff between the branches you are actually interested in.
+
+  It is very similar to (and actually builds on) `git range-diff`,
+  but differs in resulting output.
+  Written in Rust, under MIT License.
++ [Worktree Manager](https://github.com/jarredkenny/worktree-manager) (wtm)
+  is s fast, modern CLI tool for managing Git worktrees in bare repositories.
+  Written in TypeScript for Bun, under MIT License.
++ [git-metrics](https://github.com/jdrouet/git-metrics)
+  is a Git extension that makes it possible to track metrics about your project,
+  which are stored within the git repository (using `git notes`).
+  Written in Rust, under MIT License.<br>
+  Described in [Build metrics and budgets with git-metrics](https://dev.to/jdrouet/build-metrics-and-budgets-with-git-metrics-4pb4)
+  article by Jérémie Drouet on DEV\.to (2024).
+    + There is another [git-metrics](https://github.com/Praqma/git-metrics) tool,
+      by Praqma / Eficode DevOps company,
+      which consists of a set of scripts to analyse a Git repository for metrics
+      such as lead time and open branches.  Writen in Python, no license provided.
+      It was mentioned in passing in [Git Rev News Edition #48](https://git.github.io/rev_news/2019/02/27/edition-48/).
++ [git-spice](https://abhinav.github.io/git-spice/) is a tool for stacking Git branches.
+  It lets you manage and navigate stacks of branches, conveniently modify and rebase them,
+  and create GitHub Pull Requests or GitLab Merge Requests from them.
+  Written in Go, under GPL 3.0 License.
+    + A _stacked branch_ refers to a set of branches that build upon each other in a linear sequence.
+      Stacked branches or stacked diffs were first mentioned in [Git Rev News #44](https://git.github.io/rev_news/2018/10/24/edition-44/),
+      and most recently in [Git Rev News #127](https://git.github.io/rev_news/2025/09/30/edition-127/),
+      where you can find even more links about this technique.
++ [Git Granary](https://git.dbushell.com/dbushell/granary)
+  is a [Git Large File Storage](https://git-lfs.com/) (LFS)
+  server implementation written in TypeScript.  Under MIT License.
+  Git Granary was designed for self-hosted personal use.<br>

+  blog post by David Bushell on his blog (2024).
++ [gibr](https://github.com/ytreister/gibr) is a Git CLI tool
+  for intelligently creating branch names.
+  It connects your Git workflow to your issue tracker for that purpose;
+  currently supporting GitHub, GitLab, Jira, and Linear
+  (with Monday\.com support planned).
+  Written in Python, under MIT License.
++ [0github.com](https://0github.com/)
+  is a service offering a heatmap diff viewer for code reviews,
+  color-coding every diff line/token by how much human attention it probably needs.
+  To try it, replace github.com with 0github.com in any GitHub pull request url.
+  The [cmux](https://cmux.dev/) engine it uses is open source (MIT License).
+  It uses LLM (Large Language Model) to perform this task.
