SmartGit’s powerful Graph View offers more than just a list of commits. It provides a structured, high-density overview of your Git history.

  • Branches are color-coded consistently for easy visual tracking
  • Pushable commits are clearly indicated
  • First-parent lines are emphasized to clarify mainline development
  • Branch labels are aligned with their respective commit lines for unambiguous context

The Log is optimized for developers who need to understand complex branching and merging at a glance — without losing detail or context.
