About

Lore turns the Git history of a public GitHub repository into a short film. A point is a file, files that change together sit together, and each chapter links the commits behind it.

A view, with limits

The film follows first-parent history. Its map is a reading of directory structure and of files that change together. It cannot tell you why someone made a change or what their work was worth. For that, follow a chapter to its commits, or open an issue (opens in new tab) when a caption gets one wrong.
