NAME
       Gource -	a software version control visualization

SYNOPSIS
       gource [options]	[path]

DESCRIPTION
       gource  is  an  OpenGL-based  3D	 visualisation tool for	source control
       repositories.

       The repository is displayed as a	tree where the root of the  repository
       is the centre, directories are branches and files are leaves. Contribu-
       tors to the source code appear and disappear as they contribute to spe-
       cific files and directories.

REQUIREMENTS
       gource requires a OpenGL	capable	video card to run.

OPTIONS
       -h, --help
	       Help ('-H' for extended help).

       -WIDTHxHEIGHT, --viewport WIDTHxHEIGHT
	       Set  the	viewport size. If -f is	also supplied, will attempt to
	       set the video mode to this also.	Add ! to make the window  non-
	       resizable.

       -f      Fullscreen.

       --screen	SCREEN
	       Set the number of the screen to display on.

       --high-dpi
	       Request a high DPI display when creating	the window.

	       On some platforms such as MacOS,	the window resolution is spec-
	       ified  in points	instead	of pixels.  The	--high-dpi flag	may be
	       required	to access some higher resolutions.

	       E.g. requesting a high DPI 800x600 window may produce a	window
	       that is 1600x1200 pixels.

       --window-position XxY
	       Initial window position on your desktop which may be made up of
	       multiple	monitors.

	       This will override the screen setting so	don't specify both.

       --frameless
	       Frameless window.

       --transparent
	       Make the	background transparent.	Only really useful for screen-
	       shots.

       --start-date "YYYY-MM-DD	hh:mm:ss +tz"
	       Start with the first entry after	the supplied date and optional
	       time.

	       If  a  time  zone offset	isn't specified	the local time zone is
	       used.

	       Example accepted	formats:

		   "2012-06-30"
		   "2012-06-30 12:00"
		   "2012-06-30 12:00:00	+12"

       --stop-date "YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss	+tz"
	       Stop at the last	entry prior to the supplied date and  optional
	       time.

	       Uses the	same format as --start-date.

       -p, --start-position POSITION
	       Begin at	some position in the log (between 0.0 and 1.0 or 'ran-
	       dom').

       --stop-position	POSITION
	       Stop  (exit)  at	 some  position	in the log (does not work with
	       STDIN).

       -t, --stop-at-time SECONDS
	       Stop (exit) after a specified number of seconds.

       --stop-at-end
	       Stop (exit) at the end of the log / stream.

       --loop  Loop back to the	start of the log when the end is reached.

       --loop-delay-seconds SECONDS
	       Seconds to delay	before looping.

       -a, --auto-skip-seconds SECONDS
	       Automatically skip to next entry	if nothing happens for a spec-
	       ified number of seconds.

       -s, --seconds-per-day SECONDS
	       Speed of	simulation in seconds per day.

       --realtime
	       Realtime	playback speed.

       --no-time-travel
	       Use the time of the last	commit if the time of a	commit	is  in
	       the past.

       -c, --time-scale	SCALE
	       Change  simulation  time	scale. This affects the	movement speed
	       of user avatars.

	       E.g. 0.5	for half speed,	2 for double speed.

       -i, --file-idle-time SECONDS
	       Time in seconds files remain idle before	they are removed or  0
	       for no limit.

       --file-idle-time-at-end SECONDS

       --save-config CONFIG_FILE
	       Save a config file with the current options.

       --path PATH

       path    Either a	supported version control directory,  a	 pre-generated
	       log  file (see log commands or the custom log format), a	Gource
	       conf file or '-'	to read	STDIN.

	       If path is omitted, gource will attempt to read a log from  the
	       current directory.

   Git,	Bazaar,	Mercurial and SVN Examples
       View the	log of the repository in the current path:

	  gource

       View the	log of a project in the	specified directory:

	  gource my-project-dir

       For  large projects, generating a log of	the project history may	take a
       long time. For centralized VCS like SVN,	generating the	log  will  put
       load on the central VCS server.

       In these	cases, you may like to save a copy of the log for later	use.

       You  can	 generate  a  log  in  the  VCS	 specific log format using the
       --log-command VCS option:

	  cd my-svn-project
	  `gource --log-command	svn` > my-svn-project.log
	  gource my-svn-project.log

       You can also have Gource	write a	copy of	the log	file in	its  own  for-
       mat:

	  gource --output-custom-log my-project-custom.log

   CVS Support
       Use 'cvs2cl' to generate	the log	and then pass it to Gource:

	  cvs2cl --chrono --stdout --xml -g-q >	my-cvs-project.log
	  gource my-cvs-project.log

   Custom Log Format
       If  you want to use Gource with something other than the	supported sys-
       tems, there is a	pipe ('|') delimited custom log	format:

	  timestamp - An ISO 8601 or unix timestamp of	when  the  update  oc-
       curred.
	  username  - The name of the user who made the	update.
	  type	     - Single character	for the	update type - (A)dded, (M)odi-
       fied or (D)eleted.
	  file	    - Path of the file updated.
	  colour    - A	colour for the file in hex (FFFFFF) format. Optional.

   Caption Log Format
       Gource can display captions along the timeline by specifying a  caption
       file (using --caption-file) in the pipe ('|') delimited format below:

	  timestamp  -	An  ISO	 8601 or unix timestamp	of when	to display the
       caption.
	  caption   - The caption

   Recording Videos

INTERFACE
       The time	shown in the top left of the screen is set initially from  the
       first  log  entry  read	and is incremented according to	the simulation
       speed (--seconds-per-day).

       Pressing	SPACE at any time  will	 pause/resume  the  simulation.	 While
       paused  you may use the mouse to	inspect	the detail of individual files
       and users.

       TAB cycles through selecting the	current	visible	users.

       The camera mode,	either tracking	activity or showing  the  entire  code
       tree, can be toggled using the Middle mouse button.

       You  can	drag the left mouse button to manually control the camera. The
       right mouse button rotates the view.

       Interactive keyboard commands:

	  (V)	Toggle camera mode
	  (C)	Displays Gource	logo
	  (K)	Toggle file extension key
	  (M)	Toggle mouse visibility
	  (N)	Jump forward in	time to	next log entry
	  (S)	Randomize colours
	  (D)	Toggle directory name display mode
	  (F)	Toggle file name display mode
	  (U)	Toggle user name display mode
	  (G)	Toggle display of users
	  (T)	Toggle display of directory tree edges
	  (R)	Toggle display of root directory edges
	  (<>)	Adjust time scale / user avatar	movement speed
	  (+-)	Adjust simulation speed
	  (Keypad +-) Adjust camera zoom
	  (TAB)	Cycle through visible users
	  (F12)	Screenshot
	  (Alt+Enter) Fullscreen toggle
	  (ESC)	Quit
