There are quite a few things I don't like about GitHub, but calling it legacy makes no sense.
I've got to say, seeing this:
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/network
instead of something like this:
https://fork.dev/blog/posts/collapsible-graph/
or this:
https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:4800/format:webp/0*60NIVdYj2f5vETt2.png
feels pretty damn legacy to me.
both of those aren't websites. I use fork though and had no clue you could do that. I've needed that like 10 times in the last week alone haha
I am about to make you very happy.
For my fellow fish shell users:
git log --graph --abbrev-commit --no-decorate --date=format:'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' --format=format:'%C(8)%>|(16)%h %C(7)%ad %C(8)%<(16,trunc)%an %C(auto)%d %>|(1)%s' --all
I use
git log --graph --all --remotes --oneline
whenever I need to shell into another computer, but it's still too barebones for regular use.I was thinking "oh, network view, this is gonna be a good example", but that comparison isn't.
What specifically do you think is legacy in that comparison? The coloring? The horizontal layout? The whitespace?
The network view lays out forks and their branches, not only [local]/[local+1-remote] branches.
I don't know what IDE that miro screenshot is from. But I see it as wasteful and confusing. The author initials are useless and wasteful, picking away focus. The branch labels are far off from the branch heads. The coloring seems confusing.
Note: I've changed the first link from https://github.com/cxli233/FriendsDontLetFriends/network to https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/network. Still the same view, but just a different repo to highlight the problems
I'll stop here at 10 reasons (or more if you count the dot points), otherwise I'll be here all day.
Yes, but the others can do that while still being usable.
It's gitkraken
The picture doesn't do it justice, it's not a picture, it's an interactive view.
You can resize things, show/hide columns, filter values in columns to only show commits with certain info (e.g. Ignore all dependabot commits), etc... Here's an example video.
You can customise all that if you want.
Do either of those tools show logs across forks though? The first link is a totally different purpose than the second two.
The first link is going to there because that's the only graph view that github has.
