Create a small git history visualization!
- The frontend must use React.
- The git data must be fetched from the rails server.
- The git data should be the git data from this project itself.
- The view must show the git commit tree.
- All available branches should be show in the git commit tree.
- It should be possible to visualize which are the parent commits, i.e. draw the lines linking git commits like the output of
git log --graph --format=onelineorgitk.
- When the user clicks on a git commit, the view should show the patch diff (basically the output of
git show --format="") - The user can merge patches by dragging a git commit into another git commit in the git commit tree.
- The user should provide a merge message for the merge.
- The merge should fail if there are any conflicts.
Inside this tarball you will find a rails6 app and its git repository (.git directory), you should implement the above functionality using this app/repository.
In doubt about how a git visualization looks like? type git log --graph --format=oneline or gitk.
- No time to implement everything? No problem, say what is missing and deliver anyway.
- How the view should look like is up to you, just be sure it will be possible to see any commit in the tree.
- There's no need for authentication, etc... so you can just set the rails root to some method of your controller.
- Don't need to show commit author, etc... just show the subject in the tree and the diff once a tree item is clicked.
- How you elaborate the React component.
- How you elaborate the Backend-Frontend interaction.
- How much you care about the UI stuff, usability, etc...
- Commit your code to this very same repository you found in the tar.gz file.
- Execute
git clean -dfxto remove all non-project files. - Create a tarball with everything (including the
.gitdirectory!!!) - TEST BEFORE SENDING uncompress the file somewhere, run the app and check if everything is working before sending.
- Send it to the very same e-mail address you received it.
