Among all things we do at Readify to help people build better software, we teach a lot of teams about Git.
For newbies, the concept of commit graphs, references, branches and merges can be a bit hard to visualize.
Instead of trying to do all this on slides, or in sync on a whiteboard, we wanted to be able to run real commands and see a presentation quality diagram in real-time. This tool does that.
We also intelligently render unreachable commits to help people understand hard resets and rebases.
Pre-built binaries are available at https://github.com/Readify/GitViz/releases
Alpha. This entire project so far consists of one Readify guy sitting down the back of a training course and tapping away for a few hours, no more.
Large. Clear. Projector-optimized and tested colors. Just enough information to be useful.
This is not a day-to-day visualizing tool for big, active repositories. It's optimised for repositories with less than 20 commits, for very specific training scenarios in live presentations.
Shells out to git.exe, and then renders it with the excellent GraphSharp.
