Developers often encounter trouble traversing the information space of a large software system with extensive revision history. Looking through a list of commits is time-consuming, and fails to convey information in a form which efficiently communicates information about the system. it-depends is a visualization which makes it easier for developers and managers to understand the dependencies between entities in a software system across commits.
The link above will navigate to an instance of it-depends. Keep in mind that this is a PoC, and as such, there are bugs! Help us out by opening issues to report bugs! 🔍 🐛
