@alexander_eble 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. Full article at https://initialcommit.com/blog/g... 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 Enjoy and hit me up at jacob@initialcommit.io with any questions or comments!
