Once I completed my interactive Git history, I started to think about a smaller visualization project that would allow me to experiment with new ways of visualizing large development histories.

In April I set out to create an interactive visualization of the Git distributed version control system. This became one of my larger projects, so I thought I'd share my experiences building it.

This final post in my series on how I created the visualizations in my Visual Studio Code 2020 Year in Review covers how I recreated the "volume chart" from Nicholas Felton's 2013 Annual Report.

Recently I decided to continue my experiments visualizing the data produced by the software development process. This time I decided to dig into the git commit history of Git itself, with the goal of creating something interesting and creative that still provides information about the subject matter.
