It aims to make histories such as GitFlow easier to read than raw graph output from generic clients. ### Project history The project started in late 2020 and produced a rapid sequence of early releases around text-based graph rendering, branch models, styles, and formatting. The README presents the tool as a structured graph viewer for GitFlow, simple, and custom branching models, while the manual documents model selection, styles, commit formatting, SVG output, and persistent per-repository model settings. ### Adoption history git-graph occupies a narrower visualization niche than full terminal Git interfaces, but it has package visibility through Homebrew and crates.io. The README also points users who need an interactive terminal application to `git-igitt`, which was built on top of git-graph. ### How it is used Practitioners run `git-graph` inside a repository, choose a model with `--model`, set a repository's preferred model with `git-graph model`, and tune output with styles or Git-like format strings. Custom branching models live under the platform app-data directory as TOML files. ### Why package nerds care git-graph is package-manager interesting because it packages a specialized view of repository topology as a standalone binary rather than a large Git client. It is useful when developers want a predictable, scriptable terminal visualization aligned with their branch model. ### Timeline - 2020: Repository created on GitHub. - 2020: 0.1.0 release began the release series. - 2021: 0.5.0 release followed the initial burst of graph-rendering releases. - 2022: crates.io package appeared. - 2025: 0.7.0 release line was packaged by Homebrew. ### Related projects - git-graph relates to `git log --graph`, graphical Git clients, GitFlow-oriented visualization tools, and `git-igitt`, an interactive terminal application based on git-graph. ### Sources - - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** git-graph - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - git-graph: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/gi/git-graph/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - apk - git-graph - 0.7.0-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: git-graph from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Command line tool to show clear git graphs arranged for your branching model | https://github.com/git-bahn/git-graph/ - apk - git-graph-doc - 0.7.0-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: git-graph-doc from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Command line tool to show clear git graphs arranged for your branching model (documentation) | https://github.com/git-bahn/git-graph/ - pacman - git-graph - 0.7.0-2: normalized package name match | Arch Linux sync databases: git-graph from https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db.tar.gz | show clear git graphs arranged following different branching model | https://github.com/mlange-42/git-graph - Scoop - extras/git-graph: normalized package name match | Scoop official bucket manifest trees: bucket/git-graph.json from https://api.github.com/repos/ScoopInstaller/Extras/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [rust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [git-big-picture](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-big-picture/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, version-control, visualization. - [codevis](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/codevis/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, rust, visualization. - [committed](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/committed/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, rust, version-control. - [garden](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/garden/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, rust, version-control. - [git-grab](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-grab/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, rust, version-control. - [git-interactive-rebase-tool](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-interactive-rebase-tool/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, rust, version-control. - [gitoxide](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gitoxide/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, rust, version-control. - [gitu](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gitu/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, git, rust, version-control. - [git-cal](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-cal/) - Package names and metadata indicate a similar tool family.
