git-history

This is amazing! Simple and elegant. This puts any other history viewer to shame. Now I wish this was available for GitHub enterprise for work code.

Very neat implementation.

This is super-slick. Suggestion, scroll to the (top) changed line before the change animation to reveal changes in large files that happened out of viewport. Nice work

I'm a bit sad to see this cynicism at the top of a Show HN thread. This project is a fun way to browse code history and it's done with an interesting visual style. It's also open…

The slick movement makes it hard to see what the changes were -- a classic diff would be orders of magnitude more effective here.

YMMV - I'd like to see highlighting of what's changed, as it's difficult to track multiple changes with the animations. The old stand-by red and green for diffs could work, with…

This is very cool. One suggestion: The long horizontal sliding animation seriously detracts from the user experience. It makes it difficult to track what changed because areas of…

My thoughts exactly. It's nice to see and probably very satisfying for the creator. I can also imagine using this in some circumstances especially during presentations or…

I wonder how many devs out there are going to basically hand over access to their companies property (private code repos) to this random guy by "signing in with github", without…

There was nothing cynical about my comment. So you are sad for no reason. The privacy implication of handing over access to private code repos to a complete stranger is real, and…

This is nice. Can it be done with a browser extension only, without a web service? (to make it work for private repos)

This still needs performance improvements - on bigger files with longer history the transitions between commits get choppy, it shows only the newest 10 or so commits and doesn't…

If only GitHub could do this themselves instead of falling over if you try to run blame on any reasonably large repository…wait, hold on, it looks like this website does as well.…

YMMV - I'd like to see highlighting of what's changed, as it's difficult to track multiple changes with the animations. The old stand-by red and green for diffs could work, with…

I think keeping some color coding for the lines that got added / removed (better for the characters added / removed) would be nice (e.g. just an almost transparent background…

Came here to say the same thing. Having to click back and forth in history to see the changes is time consuming. Function over flash please

Not yet, but I want to add a CLI for local repos soon

This is nice. Can it be done with a browser extension only, without a web service? (to make it work for private repos)

Could you please make a bookmarklet as an alternative to Chrome extension?

It would be even more awesome than it is, if: * A "blame" column could be turned on at the left, showing output from "git blame". * When hovering over a line in the blame column,…

Exactly. I have wanted this on github for so long — even the animation is beyond what I'd like, I'd settle just for a 'prev/next' button that takes you from change to change. I'm…

Feature request: Any chance for `--follow` to track the history of files that have moved?

Not to be that guy but: git log -p $file. Works great IMO.

For a similar visualization, but at the repository level, check out Gource [0] [0] https://github.com/acaudwell/Gource

Been looking for something like this for ages. Is there a version that works with local repos? EDIT: at least for emacs, there's https://gitlab.com/pidu/git-timemachine EDIT2:…

git-timemachine does it for emacs for those who don't know.

Vim fugitive makes this pretty straightforward `:0Glog`. I imagine many other git wrappers provide similar functionality
