This tool is mostly meant for educational purposes:
In case you're giving a training, the trainees should be able to use their regular development platform of choice. Installing must then be super easy, just by using a binary file.
To explain the Git internals, it's necessary to show the trees and blobs. Thus, all types of Git objects should be allowed to be displayed.
Explaining Git is better done visualizing smaller and simpler repositories. The tool is then not intended to be used on big repositories with many objects and references. No effort is done on optimizations for such use case.
See alternatives file for similar tools with their limitations and extras.
Git version equal or newer than 2.6.0 (released in 2015).
