A command-line tool to show git log graph in a prettier and more understandable way.

Also, some cool features and usability improvements, like aligning and reducing duplication.

It uses Box-drawing characters, so in most terminals lines won't have spaces between them like in the regular git log --graph --oneline.

It was written with scala-native.

this is pretty cool.

did you use any git library, like libgit2?

Not really. For maximum compatibility with the regular git log --graph, I just transform the output from git itself :)

Maybe I will try to do something like that to speed it up in the future. Who knows? :)
