[script] Animate a versionned file's history
Posted: Wed Aug 18, 2010 10:24 pm
I've been looking for a tool that would visually "replay" the programmer's work, like a 24h/24 screencast of his editor, but fast forward. The aim is to :
1) See the evolution of the whole project.
2) See the evolution of the contents of a single file.
Gource ( http://code.google.com/p/gource/ ) provides a soluion for aim #1, and Apple's "time machine" (Mac OS X) seems to provide something somehow related. But both seem to work with a granularity of files & folders, which is too big for aim #2 (I want to see the acual code being modified).
So I created a short script that allows you to navigate through the different versions of a single file.
At the moment, you can view previous, next, first, last version, scroll up, down & back to top.
