3rd Place: Git Repository Hierarchy (49/75)
Author: Thomas H. Kilbak
Visualizes the file structure of git repositories hierarchically. The size and color of each file is determined using various metrics, which the user can choose. In the image, the size of a file relates to the number of commits to it, and the color relates to the person who has done the most work on it. At the bottom, a historigram shows when there has been the most commit activity, and the user can choose which time range to analyze by moving the slider handles.
To interact with the visualization go to a repo in the terminal and run: npx git-truck@duck. Requires node.js.
