NAME

       Gource - a software version control visualization

SYNOPSIS

       gource <options> <path>

DESCRIPTION

       gource is an OpenGL-based 3D visualisation tool for source control repositories.

       The  repository  is  displayed  as  a tree where the root of the repository is the centre,
       directories are branches and files are leaves. Contributors to the source code appear  and
       disappear as they contribute to specific files and directories.

REQUIREMENTS

       gource requires a OpenGL capable video card to run.

       --save-config CONFIG_FILE
               Save a config file with the current options.

       --path PATH

       path    Either a supported version control directory, a pre-generated log  file  (see  log
               commands or the custom log format), a Gource conf file or '-' to read STDIN.

               If path is omitted, gource will attempt to read a log from the current directory.

   Git, Bazaar, Mercurial and SVN Examples
       View the log of the repository in the current path:

          gource

       View the log of a project in the specified directory:

          gource my-project-dir

       For  large  projects,  generating  a  log of the project history may take a long time. For
       centralized VCS like SVN, generating the log will put load on the central VCS server.

       In these cases, you may like to save a copy of the log for later use.

       You can generate a log in the VCS specific log format using the --log-command VCS option:

          cd my-svn-project
          `gource --log-command svn` > my-svn-project.log
          gource my-svn-project.log

       You can also have Gource write a copy of the log file in its own format:

          gource --output-custom-log my-project-custom.log

   CVS Support
       Use 'cvs2cl' to generate the log and then pass it to Gource:

          cvs2cl --chrono --stdout --xml -g-q > my-cvs-project.log
          gource my-cvs-project.log

   Custom Log Format
       If you want to use Gource with something other than the supported systems, there is a pipe
       ('|') delimited custom log format:

          timestamp - A unix timestamp of when the update occured.
          username  - The name of the user who made the update.
          type      - Single character for the update type - (A)dded, (M)odified or (D)eleted.
          file      - Path of the file updated.
          colour    - A colour for the file in hex (FFFFFF) format. Optional.

   Caption Log Format
       Gource  can  display  captions  along  the  timeline  by  specifying a caption file (using
       --caption-file) in the pipe ('|') delimited format below:

          timestamp - A unix timestamp of when to display the caption.
          caption   - The caption

   Recording Videos
       See the guide on the homepage for examples of recording videos with Gource:

          http://code.google.com/p/gource/wiki/Videos

   More Information

       control systems:

INTERFACE

       The  time  shown  in  the top left of the screen is set initially from the first log entry
       read and is incremented according to the simulation speed (--seconds-per-day).

       Pressing SPACE at any time will pause/resume the simulation. While paused you may use  the
       mouse to inspect the detail of individual files and users.

       TAB cycles through selecting the current visible users.

       The  camera mode, either tracking activity or showing the entire code tree, can be toggled
       using the Middle mouse button.

       You can drag the left mouse button to manually control the camera. The right mouse  button
       rotates the view.

       Interactive keyboard commands:

          (V)   Toggle camera mode
          (C)   Displays Gource logo
          (K)   Toggle file extension key
          (M)   Toggle mouse visibility
          (N)   Jump forward in time to next log entry
          (S)   Randomize colours
          (+-)  Adjust simulation speed
          (<>)  Adjust time scale
          (TAB) Cycle through visible users
          (ESC) Quit
