Open Source C++ Data Visualization Software

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. Gource includes built-in log generation support for Git, Mercurial, Bazaar and SVN. Gource can also parse logs produced by several third party tools for CVS repositories. Gource is a visualization tool for source control repositories. The repository is displayed as a tree where the root of the repository is the centre, directories are branches and files are leaves. Contributors to the source code appear and disappear as they contribute to specific files and directories. Gource's display is rendered using OpenGL and requires a 3D accelerated video card to run.

pepper is a command-line tool for retrieving statistics and generating reports from source code repositories. It ships with several graphical and textual reports, and is easily extendable using the Lua scripting language.
