With your-project-dashboard, you can:
- See every git project on your computer without looking through folders.
- View information like what programming tools each project uses.
- Check recent updates, contributors, and project status.
- Quickly find and open the projects you use most often.
- Organize your projects into groups and lists.

your-project-dashboard runs a small web server on your computer that scans folders for git repositories. It gathers metadata such as:
- Programming language detection by analyzing files.
- Commit history using git commands.
- Contributor lists from git logs.
- Deployment and documentation status from project files.
The dashboard runs in your web browser but requires no internet connection to scan and show local projects.
