About:
DeepGit is a graphical tool designed to navigate and understand complex Git repository histories. It visualizes commit relationships, branches, and merges, making it easier to trace code changes and identify the origin of specific lines. This tool is particularly valuable for large, long-standing projects where manual git log analysis becomes cumbersome.

Key Features:

Visual commit graph and history navigation
Code blame and change origin tracking
Side-by-side diff visualization
Branch and merge analysis

Use Cases:

Investigating the history of a specific code change or bug fix
Onboarding new developers to a complex codebase
Auditing code changes for compliance or review

Alternatives:

GitKraken – GitKraken is a full-featured Git client with deep repository visualization, similar to DeepGit's focus on history.
SourceTree – SourceTree is a free GUI client that offers visual history, but DeepGit provides more specialized tools for deep history investigation.
