Getting started

git-graph-diff-tool

It is possible to use graph-diff with git, with git-graph-diff-tool provided in this library. An usage example:

Install

For every repository you would like to install you need to add to .gitattributes file a rules to know how to handle .dot files. For example:

echo "*.dot diff=graph_diff" >> .gitattributes

Then, configure the difftool to be the git-graph-diff-tool. For example:

git config diff.graph_diff.command git-graph-diff-tool

Then, you can use git as usual, while adding --ext-diff flag to enable external difftools.

git log -p --ext-diff
