+* [setuptools-scm](https://github.com/pypa/setuptools_scm)
+  is a tool that extracts Python package versions from `git` or `hg` metadata
+  instead of declaring them as the version argument, or in an SCM managed file.
+  Additionally, it provides setuptools with a list of files that are managed by the SCM
+  (i.e. it automatically adds all of the SCM-managed files to the sdist).
+  Unwanted files must be excluded via `MANIFEST.in`.
+  The preferred way to configure setuptools-scm is via `pyproject.toml`.<br>
+  The [latest version](https://setuptools-scm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
+  and the [stable version documentation](https://setuptools-scm.readthedocs.io/en/stable/)
+  are available on Read the Docs).
+* [`piku`](https://piku.github.io/), which was inspired by [`dokku`](https://dokku.com/),
+  allows you do `git push` deployments to your own servers, no matter how small they are.
+  An open source PaaS (Platform as a Service) alternative to services such as Heroku.
+  Written in Python.
+* [gitchangelog](https://github.com/vaab/gitchangelog) is a tool that
+  creates a changelog from git log history.  Written in Python;
+  though it is no longer actively developed (version 3.0.4 is from 2018).
+    * Compare with for example [git-cliff](https://git-cliff.org/) changelog generator,
+      mentioned in [Git Rev News Edition #108](https://git.github.io/rev_news/2024/02/29/edition-108/).
+* [git-open-remote](https://github.com/masukomi/masuconfigs/blob/master/bin/git-scripts/git-open-remote)

+  With this script you can simply cd into a git repo and type `git open-remote`.
+  Requires [`open`](https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/open.1.html)
+  or [`xdg-open`](https://linux.die.net/man/1/xdg-open) installed to open the web browser
+  (and aliased or linked to `open` command in the latter case),
+  and [charm gum](https://github.com/charmbracelet/gum) to implement UI
+  for choosing the remote if the git repo has more than one remote.
