Thx! Some potential use cases: -Visualizing Git projects -Sharing desired parts of your workflow with your team -Creating animated Git videos for blog posts or YouTube -Helping newer developers learn Git I also may try to add a feature for newer Git users to simulate the action of particular commands such as merges, rebases, or cherry-picks.

Hey Git users! I built Git Story to give developers and creators an easy way to animate the history of their Git repos. I couldn't find any tools that generate a good looking version of Git's commit history automatically, so I created git-story to do this. The goal is to allow users to generate video animations of their Git commit history with a single command.

Thx and yes it was! It's a Python library called Manim. I wrote a blog post that talks about the dependencies and the program in general:
Looks cool going to try it out on my projects. Congratulations on the launch 🚀
Maker
Thx! Cool would love to hear if you any feedback after testing it out or if you run into any issues in the process.
Anything to help me track the maze of my repo branches. Would love to try it out
Maker
Sure please give it a try and happy to help if you run into any issues.
I can see how the dev teams can utilize this to bring new team members onboard and track historical context of the codebase, nice work overall!
Maker
