Show HN: Fur – a Git-like CLI for branching your chats and ideas

2 points

9 months ago

I built a small CLI tool called FUR — Forkable, Unearthable, Recursive memory tracker. It’s like `git`, but for your chats, ideas, and AI conversations.

With FUR you can: - start threads and jot messages (inline or from Markdown files) - fork conversations into branches - jump back or forward in a thread - see your history as a tree or timeline - assign avatars (, , etc.) to different participants - switch between threads with a single command

Everything is stored locally as JSON + Markdown under a `.fur/` directory. No servers, no sync, just your data.

GitHub: https://github.com/andrewrgarcia/fur-cli Install: `cargo install fur-cli`

Would love feedback — especially from folks who’ve felt the pain of losing good AI conversations or wanted branching "save points" for ideas.
