A developer shares their experience building GitTop, a terminal UI application for visualizing Git repository statistics, using fully agentic coding with Claude Code. The project was completed over a weekend with 26 commits and features a seven-page dashboard showing commit distributions, contributor activity, branch analysis, and more. The article highlights both the efficiency of agentic coding and unexpected cleverness in the generated code, such as an intelligent filter system.
Background
Agentic coding refers to using AI assistants to autonomously write code based on high-level descriptions, representing an emerging trend in software development. Git analysis tools help developers understand project patterns through commit history visualization.
