git-forest(1) hxtools git-forest(1) Name git-forest -- display the commit history forest Syntax git-forest [-a] [--no-rebase] [--style=number] [--sha] [--svdepth=depth] [rev-list-options] [refspec...] Description git-forest is a command-line zero-lookahead git repository history visual- izer with Unicode output with a bit of gitk resemblance. Why another program? The tree visualization of gitk is very useful, but there were (git 1.5.4 timeframe) no decent visualizers that can run in a console window, without the need to have X around (which gitk depends on). tig has numerous limita- tions, it cannot display octopus merges or octopus branching. As of git 1.5.6, there are still no other Unicode-output programs known to me. Options -a Display author for each commit. --no-rebase Do not show the rebase pseudo-refs. --style=1 Use single-line visuals (default). --style=2 Use double-line visuals. --style=10 Use specific rounded Unicode visuals for edges; glyphs might only be available with X11 terminals and appropriate fonts. --style=15 Use single bold-line visuals. Not readily usable with VGA console fonts without special unimaps. --sha Display (abbreviated) SHAs for each commit. --svdepth=distance This option controls the maximum look-ahead window. If M0's parent (M1) appears within distance or fewer lines of M0, a "sub-vine" will be drawn in the space between the regular vines. Default: 3 $ git-forest --svdepth=3 --topo-order aa M0: Merge G into M aaa a a G0 a a G1: Merge N into G a aaa a a a N0 a a a N1 a a a N2 a a a N3 aaa a a a G2/M1 aaaaa a N4/M2 $ git-forest --svdepth=5 --topo-order aa M0: Merge G into M aaa a a G0 a a G1: Merge N in to G aaax aaa N0 aaa N1 aaa N2 aaa N3 aaa a a G2/M1 aaa a N4/M2 For comparison, this is the date-order representation of this exam- ple, in case you want to reproduce it: $ git-forest --date-order aa M0: Merge G into M aaa a a G0 a a G1: Merge N into G aaax aaa a a G2/M1 a a N0 a a N1 a a N2 a a N3 aaa a N4/M2 All other options and arguments are passed down to git-log. Commonly useful options are --all and --topo-order. Examples git-forest --all | less -RS git-forest origin/master | less -RS This tool does not try to minimize the empty space between branches like gitk does. Take it as a feature.
