gitcredits is a Go tool that displays movie-style credits for git repositories directly in the terminal. Created by Higangssh, it generates ASCII art titles, lists contributors by commit count, and shows recent feature and fix commits. The tool requires Git and Go 1.21+, with optional GitHub CLI for enhanced metadata.

Users navigate to any git repository and run the command to see a scrolling display featuring the project lead (top contributor), all contributors, notable recent commits, and repository statistics. The interface includes keyboard controls for manual scrolling and quitting. GitHub metadata like stars, description, and license requires authenticated GitHub CLI but works without it using only git data.

The tool combines entertainment with practical information, turning repository history into an engaging visual experience. It's particularly useful for open-source projects wanting to highlight contributor efforts in a fun format.
