Very cool tool to make nice graph plots of Git repositories.

Who wants to try this on Nixpkgs ? :P

Here is a sample image I did on the llvm-project (took a few hours)

I ran it locally on NixOS

Analyze git repo

positional arguments:

You will want to fix-up & reword the commits here via git rebase. Interactively you can:

$ git rebase -i HEAD~2

Will open the $EDITOR. Change

pick 5294d98663 git-of-theseus: init at 961bda0
pick 84bc34afd6 Update package.nix

to

reword 5294d98663 git-of-theseus: init at 961bda0
fixup  84bc34afd6 Update package.nix

Reset the commit message title to reflect the new version @ 0-unstable-2023-02-13 instead of the hash.

$ git rebase --continue

to fixup the initial commit with the new versions.

Then remove the with lib; & rec (if possible). Use git add -p to interactively check over your changes then git commit --amend to amend the original commit. When you are ready to go git push --force-with-lease origin git-of-theseus.

Since these are just fixups based on a review, they should not pollute the Git history.

[toastal]

Also the MS GitHub pull request title here should be updated to reflect the new version as well.

Additionally… you don’t need marketing text in PRs about why, but this is minor.

[fzakaria]

@toastal thank you for the clear instructions;

I was kind of at first like "ugh" with all the feedback but at least you were very clear on what I had to do -- so it wasn't too bad 🙏

The binaries aren't inside ./result/bin, is this intended? ignore, I was being dumb
