Did you found a way to do this with plantuml yet? I'm also trying to do a simple git graph (like showing the gitflow process) but I haven't succeeded yet neither with sequence, nor with activity nor with use case. All have their downsides.

Answer 1

No, i try to play with dot diagram inside plantuml but don't spent lot of time on it.
So I don't succeeded.

Mermaid has experimental support for git branching graphs. Would it be possible for PlantUML to implement something simmilar:

Hello M.,

For that, you can see `@startgit`

See PR#493

If that can help,

This is not exacly what I was looking for. Good to know. Thank you.

I was looking for similiar graphical representation, like the git uses, something similiar to what I've found in Mermaid example.

Is there some example to built this from scratch?

Let's say, I'd like to visualize the plan on how a feature shall be branched from develop and finally be merged back again. How to create a release candidate branch that results in the master branch.

That means, I don't need the commit IDs, rather the branch names and how they play together.

Thank you in advance!

The EBNF looks like the better way of achieving git branching visualization: https://plantuml.com/ebnf
