How to draw (visualise) git workflows

You can describe your flow using JS code. Here is GitGraph.js

- a simple JavaScript library which is meant to help you visually presenting git branching stuff like a git workflow, a tricky git command or whatever git tree you'd have in mind.

There are:

• yWorks - free (Java)
• LucidChart - web-based
• draw.io - web-based, free, open source
• OmniGraffle - mac only, paid with free trial, my personal favourite
• MS Visio

...to name just a few. There's a lot of GUI tools for this.

If you'd like to write some code and generate pictures out of it, take a look at GraphViz or Ditaa.

I like Visualizing Git, which is open source and runs in your browser. You type in git commands, and it creates the graph.

The below graph was generated by this sequence:

git commit -m "second commit"
git commit
git commit
git checkout HEAD^^
git checkout -b feature
git commit
git commit
git checkout master
git merge feature
