How to draw (visualise) git workflows – Photoshop

You sure know those nice git timeline charts, visualising a git branching strategy and workflow.

I created a git workflow based upon the specific needs of a customer. To hand over my work, I´d prefer not to scan my drawings, nor to fiddle with photoshop. Are there any free tools to create those? (i.e. sure they are – but are any of these especcially well suited for the task?) Ideally theye are web-based, or at least easy to learn for such a one-time-occasion. (No, LaTeX isn´t 🙂 )

Thanks!

    There are:

    …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.

    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.

    GitGraph.js - template "metro"

    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

    Now that GitHub pages do support mermaid (Feb. 2022), you can integrate mermaid graph representing a Git workflow:

    gitGraph :                     
options                        
{"key": "value",               
"nodeWidth": 150               
}                              
end                            
    commit                     
    branch newbranch           
    checkout newbranch         
    commit                     
    commit                     
    checkout master            
    commit                     
    commit                     
    merge newbranch

    Result:

    GitGraph

    Warning: was in Beta in 2021, but now (Feb. 2022) referenced by the official documentation, still as "experimental".
