Git repository visualization tools

This cluster consists of tools for visualizing, browsing, and managing Git repositories, including GUIs, terminal UIs, and web apps for diff review, history graphs, commit exploration, and repository insights.

Traction is led by gitwarren-app and Luma with 11 stars each, followed by surgite with 1 star.
