Making

Software projects are displayed by Gource as an animated tree with the root directory of the project at its centre. Directories appear as branches with files as leaves. Developers can be seen working on the tree at the times they contributed to the project. code

Sometimes it may be interesting to show the history of multiple projects in the same Gource animation. For instance: development activity in sub modules used by a project, multiple projects worked on by the same developers / company, or maybe different forks of a project. wiki
