Git History Graphs

This is more of a reminder for myself so that I can remember how to edit my banner image.

I was looking for a way to generate pretty git graphs for my webpage to showcase my professional progression when I stumpled upon this stackoverflow post. From there I followed one of the answers to gitdags repo. I would encourage new users to use the supplied docker image to save yourself from installing numerous software packages like I did.

Here is the source of my tex file to generate my banner image:

\documentclass[preview]{standalone}
%\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[a4paper, landscape, total={20in, 20in}, margin=0pt]{geometry}



\usepackage{subcaption}
\usepackage{gitdags}
