I’m only just embarking on my git journey as a hobbyist. When programming was my career, I was a solo programmer and subversion was almost overkill.

When I look at the diagram of “merge” I see what I would have thought to be perfection itself, not something pain inducing.

As I said, I’m just getting started. Is there no tooling to make this graph painless and useful or is it left to mental visualisations?
