Why this fork
The original Git Graph by
mhutchie left the MIT license in May 2019 — everything after
commit 4af8583
is under more restrictive terms. This fork descends from that last MIT commit
via asispts/neo-git-graph and adds
devcontainer support, internationalization, and a modernized codebase and
toolchain.
From version 1.0.0 the project is licensed under the GNU AGPL-3.0-or-later.
Copyleft guarantees this fork stays open: anyone may redistribute or build on
it, but every distributed or network-hosted derivative must keep its complete
source available under the same terms. See
docs/LICENSING.md for the full licensing strategy and
provenance.
Installation
Marketplace listings are coming soon — this fork has not been published yet.

Until then, you can build and install it locally: pnpm install, package a
VSIX with pnpm exec vsce package, then in VS Code run
Extensions: Install from VSIX....
