I just want to present a small tool I wrote. I use it at work to have a tool visualizing the Git basic concepts and data structures which "are really really really simple" (Linus' words). That helps me teaching my colleagues about Git and answering their questions when Git did not behave as they expected.

Very nice!  Thank you!

I tried it on a couple of my test repos that I use when teaching people and it appears you need to munge branch names that contain hyphens in the generated dot file, or dot fails to parse the file.

Otherwise, it's a neat tool.  Thanks again!
