NAME
     Gource - a software version control visualization

SYNOPSIS
     gource [options] [path]

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

     The repository is displayed as a tree where the root of the  repository  is
     the  centre, directories are branches and files are leaves. Contributors to
     the source code appear and disappear as they contribute to  specific  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-resiz-
	     able.

     -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 specified
	     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 specified
	     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
	     Time in seconds files remain idle at the end before  they	are  re-

	     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 cur-
	     rent 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-com-
     mand 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 format:

	  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	systems,
     there is a pipe ('|') delimited custom log format:

	  timestamp - An ISO 8601 or unix timestamp of when the update occurred.
	  username  - The name of the user who made the update.
	  type	    - Single character for the update type - (A)dded, (M)odified
     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 cap-
     tion.
	  caption   - The caption

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
