It’s been almost 6 months since we released the network graph and since then it has become an indispensable part of the GitHub experience. Over that period I’ve been compiling a list of things that would make the graph even better. More precise and less confusing portrayal of merge and branch structure. The ability to pull a specific range of commits in for drawing, resulting in blazingly fast incremental renders. Data caching so to remove the overhead of just-in-time graph construction. A boatload of bug fixes. And finally, the ability to actually draw the Rails, Linux, and Git networks!
What are you waiting for? Go check out the new and improved graph of your favorite project!
