The graph, at true scale
Every commit sits where it actually happened. Parallel lines of work keep their lanes, and merges converge exactly where they converge. What a flattened log hides, the lattice draws.
A quiet navigator for git history
History,
structured.
Lattice draws your repository's commit graph as it actually happened: parallel lines of work keep their lanes, merges converge in the open, and the diff is never more than a keystroke away.

A 128-commit history in three lanes, drawn and laid out in 4 ms.
A log flattens history.
A lattice keeps the shape.
Why lattice
Read the shape of the work
History is not a list. It is a set of lines running in parallel, diverging and converging. Lattice draws that structure, then lets you move through it.
Keys, not menus
j and k walk the history, g and G jump to the edges, t opens a commit in your editor, and / filters by hash, author, or message. Nothing to click, nothing to configure.
Context, one keystroke deep
o opens the diff, s opens the file as it was at that revision, y puts the hash on the clipboard. The answer is never more than a keypress from the question.
The keys
Ten keys. No mouse.
Every binding works out of the box. If you rebind one, .latticerc is three lines long.
- jkNext and previous commit
- gGFirst and last commit
- hlStep to a parent, or back to a child
- tOpen the commit in $EDITOR
- /Filter by hash, author, or message
- oOpen the diff
- sOpen the file as it was at this revision
- yCopy the hash to the clipboard
- ?Show this help, in place
- qQuit
Install
One line, and you're in.
curl -fsSL get.lattice.sh | sh
brew install latticeworks too, if your tools live in Homebrew.- The script verifies the PGP signature before it installs to
~/.local/bin. - Uninstalling is
lattice --uninstall. Nothing else is left behind.
