Noctis Constellation

See the history. Understand the work.

Explore, understand, and work with Git through a living visual map of your repository.

Branches, commits and releases come into view in a fictional demo repository.

Explore

A map you can read.

Follow commits, focus a branch, inspect a change, and find releases. Switch between the constellation and a history list. The map represents the loaded history, with explicit boundaries where parents have not been loaded.

Insights

A few things to know.

Is the map the entire repository?

It shows the loaded history. A local repository starts with its latest 500 commits and can expand to 2,000; a public GitHub repository is limited to 500. Missing parents remain visible as boundaries.

Where does it fit in the Noctis family?

Equation and Paper focus on mathematics and scientific writing. Constellation focuses on Git repositories.
