Bitbucket's version of this is still my favourite. I love that it's just right there in the all commits view:

Vs Github and GitLab where you have to go to a special separate network/graph page to see it, eg:

Yeah, Bitbucket's view is just gitk on the web, which is exactly how I like it.

Wow, really beautiful! I wonder how do they do these graphs...

If you're into reading C code, you could probably check how git's `git log --graph` is implemented: https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/graph.c

That repository maintainer should've octopus merged those commits in the example...

A git alias I found somewhere that I really like for displaying a history graph similar to bitbucket's:

  lg = log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit --date=relative
