This looks interesting, thanks for sharing. I've used gource a few times in the past (it's in the repos for most linux distros) and while I enjoy the occasional visualization, I've yet to find an actual use for it.

Has anybody found a real use case? It might be neat and helpful if a tool could show me everywhere that I've been committing too. In gource you can see an avatar for yourself bouncing around as the timeline advances. It would be cool to have a combined graphic of all the repos on my machine, although I'm sure that's a quite non-trivial implementation.

Link to Gource, for the curious: https://gource.io/

Pretty cool when you're added to a new project, have no idea what people have been working on for the past 2 months there and want to see where most of the actual effort was focused.
