Git Truck Beta

Important!
It is a private version of the original version of GitTruck, you might be searching for the GitTruck base version available here
Description
Git-Truck provides you with a truckload of visualizations for your git repository, and helps you find out if your project has a good truck factor:
| The files in your system where you have a single contributor (i.e., truck-factor = 1) | |
| You can see how the various developers contribute to your codebase | |
| You can determine which parts of the system that are most often changed |
What makes Git Truck Beta different?
- Private by design
- Works offline
- Git provider agnostic - Works with any Git repository
- No tracking, no ads, no data mining, no analytics, no cloud, no servers
