Pretty code visualizations

Post by Moonchild » 2023-04-18, 11:58

I ran across an interesting project today called "Gource" which provides repo visualization and a pretty way of displaying the code tree.
I'm wondering if there are other similar projects out there that do this kind of data visualization of source code?

Thank you for posting this. I'm running it on my main repo (initial commit in 2012, with a dozen or so contributors) right now and it is fascinating.
When I eventually get to the end of the whole video, I may have some cool take-aways. We'll see.
Might be useful to exclude a directory or two. I'll check the docs for that.
