Description of Triangles Git Repo Visualization Graphic

Shows a screen-shot of using the Git GUI command on Windows, to visualize a Git repository. Just the one window is shown. At the top is the chain of commits, from the current version of branch Master, and including a commit from branch named "experimental" which was merged into the master branch. There are 16 commits shown, including the initial commit. The 14th commit include a tag named "Version2.0".

Each line of the commit chain shows the branch, the first sentence/line of the commit message (or as much as will fit in the space available), the author's name and email address, and the date and time of the commit.

Below that window pane is some form fields, allowing one to select a particular commit to view details about. In this case, the most recent commit is selected and its "SHA-1" ID is shown.

The bottom pane of the window is split vertically. On the right side is a tree view of the working directory of the repo. In this case, it shows some Eclipse project files, with the subdirectory "src" expanded to show three Java source files in the packages com.wpollock.triangles and com.wpollock.trianglestest. The three files are Triangles.java and package-info.java (in package com.wpollock.triangles), and TrianglesTestSuite.java. The trianglestest package is selected.

On the left side of the bottom pane of the window is the details of the commit, including the full log message.
