Gource – A version control visualization tool
- mitchoneill 10y agoAwesome tool and easy to get started. Made a quick vis of a hackathon I did last year. Recorded using this gist (https://gist.github.com/qiaoxueshi/5910150 https://gist.github.com/qiaoxueshi/5910150) https://youtu.be/BLX764QP1oQ https://youtu.be/BLX764QP1oQ
- deavmi 10y agoI have used it and it is awesome. Check out their Web server log visualizer.
- abc_lisper 10y agoThis is not new. I remember trying it 4 years ago.
- B1FF_PSUVM 10y agoAny impressions to share? Useful, pretty, neat but ... ?
- abc_lisper 10y agoPretty, neat, attracts crowds for once or twice. Didn't know how to make use of it.
- xtracto 10y agoI have used it several times when presenting the stuff we have done at my current job (i.e. show how we have grown from a 2 person startup to a 15 Engineer shop). Undergrads like it a lot. The only thing that I think it is missing is having a "size" of each node to represent the size of the file. That will give a lot more visibility on changes.
- edwingustafson 10y agoI used this once to illustrate software development work to non-technical colleagues. It succeeded in showing them how many small changes from many people come together into the final product.
- sythe2o0 10y agoI liked using it as a motivational tool, to remind myself how far a project had gone and how I'd contributed, but that's about it
- kodablah 10y agoPretty neat, not that useful because non-interactive video visualizations rarely are. Also can be used to visualize other things. I've used it to show forum activity for example.
- ChristianGeek 10y agoNon-interactive video visualizations were useful for decades before interactive ones became available, and still are when done well (which isn't as rare as you imply). They also reach a much wider audience.
- jalfresi 10y agoAnyone one know what type of tree diagrams these are? I'd love to generate a file system directory structure in that style of tree diagram
- robinwarren 10y agoForce directed graphs. D3js has a solid implementation
- andrewmcwatters 10y agoEven though Gource isn't new, it's fantastic software that people should be aware of!
- tbirrell 10y agoIt is very easy to install this on Ubuntu 16.04. apt-get install gource Full instructions https://www.devmanuals.net/install/ubuntu/ubuntu-16-04-LTS-Xenial-Xerus/how-to-install-gource.html https://www.devmanuals.net/install/ubuntu/ubuntu-16-04-LTS-X...
- mdadm 10y agoFor Arch, it's just pacman -S gource
- ivan_ah 10y agoI wasted the whole day looking at the history of various repos. WARNING, this is addictive... To install on Mac OX X, run: brew install boost glm glew sdl_image ./configure make
- notaplumber 10y agoThere are some interesting things that can be done with gource beyond version control. Here's someone using it to visualize OpenBSD pf(4) firewall logs! http://www.echothrust.com/blogs/monitoring-pf-logs-gource http://www.echothrust.com/blogs/monitoring-pf-logs-gource
