Git Truck is a local, interactive visualization workspace for Git repositories, built for inspecting a codebase through structure, commit activity, authorship, and history.

• Browse and zoom into the repository structure
• See who worked where, when and what they worked on
• Spot active areas of the codebase
• Explore how the codebase changed over time

Git Truck can assist you in quickly answering questions like:

How is the repository structured?	Where has the project been active recently?
Who has changed the most lines per file?	Where and when have specific contributors worked?

• Runs locally: no tracking, cloud storage, remote servers, ads, or subscription
• Works offline
• Works with any Git repository

Requires Node.js and Git.

npm install -g git-truck@latest

Open a repository:

cd path/to/repository
git truck

Or pass a path directly:

git truck path/to/repository
git truck path/to/folder-with-repositories

When the path contains multiple repositories, Git Truck opens a repository browser. Otherwise, it opens the visualization in your default browser.

Run git truck --help for advanced options.

• If the browser does not open automatically, copy or click the URL from the terminal.
• Large repositories can take a little while to analyze the first time and may feel slow to navigate and interact with.
