visualizing version control

justin_36

I am new to software version control. Our FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team of high schoolers made great use of Onshape's versioning.

I saw this at the World championship last week of a team visualizing their software changes:

Anyone out there know if it would be possible to visualize Onshape changes? Perhaps an idea for an App Store app?

@justin_36 gourse style visualization is not available. Nor is there an easy way to export the history for external analysis and visualization. I agree that it would make an interesting app.

Check out this quick video that shows you how to compare two versions!

@justin_36 @philip_thomas I may be wrong but I think what he is asking is for a way to visualize all of his versions at once?  Like a tree with a branch for each version?  We have something similar in the Versions Manager which lists all versions and branches visually?

One way or another - i think we have this covered!

Thanks everyone for your responses The intent of my inquiry was to ask for more dynamic visualization, as the gource video shows.

Sorry, I should have been more specific to say that the gource visualization would extend the existing (awesome) comparing/versions features already in OS.
