shameless plug: www.srctree.net - Ace editor + git + canvas for viewing commits/branches.

I built it about a year ago, mostly for learning and fun. I haven't advertised it a lot but it seems relevant in here. I hope it's not off topic!

Interesting but how to get other code in there is not so clear. Could be useful as an educational tool, with nicer defaults.

I'm not sure I get it. You can start coding and just keeping on commiting and it will handle branching automatically. No doubts that I should make that clear somewhere.

I just wish you could merge and rebase.

That would be one of the next steps. I just released an really simple MVP and got my head around other projects. I'm sure gonna refactor the thing eventually and make some things clearer.

I guess I need to rethink the whole layout. Under 'tips' there is a small explanation but might still be confusing. There's also a 'see an example' on the bottom, but I guess it's not that helpful either. Someone gave me a nice hint of doing a landing page with explanation and a huge 'start coding' button. I'll do that :)
