Project Overview
GitVisual offers an interactive alternative to GitHub's file diff lists. It processes change histories, mapping files onto D3 radial graphs. Code files are colored based on change size, highlighting risky commits.
Key Features & Scope
Interactive D3 file dependency graphs displaying file changes visually
GitHub API integrations syncing repository structures instantly
Code metrics analyzers highlighting complex files that lack unit tests
Team comment boards supporting inline threads and approval checkpoints
