A browser-based interactive tool that visualizes how common Git operations affect the commit graph, powered by D3. Users type Git commands and watch branches, commits, rebases, and remote interactions update in real time.

Use cases

• learn how git rebase changes the commit graph
• visualize what git cherry-pick does
• understand git push and pull with remotes
• practice git branching and merging safely
• teach git concepts to a class with presenter mode
• experiment with git reset and revert without a real repo

When to choose

• you are learning or teaching Git and want to see the commit graph change live
• you want a safe sandbox to try risky operations like rebase or reset
• you need a free, no-install tool that runs in the browser

When to avoid

• you need to visualize an existing real-world repository
• you need full Git functionality beyond the supported subset of commands
• you need offline or CLI-based tooling
