Is it easier to trick gitk to do it, or should I be thinking of porting the logic to some other script? (Possibly in Perl using GD). cheers, martin ``` ## Artem Khodush, 2006-01-13 22:14 Subject: Re: [wish] Auto-generate gitk's pretty pictures Message-ID: <40b2b7d90601131414o20eae573r23256ff2dfbeffa5@mail.gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/40b2b7d90601131414o20eae573r23256ff2dfbeffa5%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <46a038f90601121302x3d06898dk3f9a0ab7114ef70a@mail.gmail.com> ``` > I am working on the idea of running an hourly cron on the server that > does > > gitk -d --all --max-count=1000 --prettypic=foo.png > > and link to the png from gitweb. I'm working on a web interface that will look similar to gitk. It's far from being usable, the only thing it does now is to "draw" gitk-like "picture". But if the picture is all you want, you may find it useful. Please look at http://straytree.com/git-browser/by-commit.html?r=git hope this helps, Artem. ``` ## Johannes Schindelin, 2006-01-13 22:19 Subject: Re: [wish] Auto-generate gitk's pretty pictures Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/Pine.LNX.4.63.0601132318170.7025%40wbgn013.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de In-Reply-To: <40b2b7d90601131414o20eae573r23256ff2dfbeffa5@mail.gmail.com> ``` Hi, On Sat, 14 Jan 2006, Artem Khodush wrote: > http://straytree.com/git-browser/by-commit.html?r=git Wow!

But, the next feature I plan to add is to show commits in the same window in a way like gitk does.

Mainly because gitweb can't show the commit in most convenient (IMHO) way, with everything on one screen. I like the way gitk does it, when you can see all at once - list of changed files in the lower right pane and commit message with links to parent and child commits and diff in the left. And with gitweb, those links to related commits must allow somehow to highlight those commits on the diagram, wich means that gitweb must be made aware of the frame that it's embedded in, and must be able to call some javascript there. Eventually I will add interaction with gitweb in some way or another, but for now, it's easier for me to just show the commit. ```
