Use mermaid git graphs #51

Open davidwilby opened 2 years ago

davidwilby commented 2 years ago

Resolves #50

Just a draft example at present to show using mermaid's git graphs in the materials.

I've had to use the customMermaidURL parameter of the learn theme since it hasn't been updated in a while and is quite outdated vis a vis mermaid. However, it would be nice to remove this at some point so we don't have to keep track of the versions.

{{<mermaid>}}
%%{init: { 'logLevel': 'debug', 'theme': 'base', 'gitGraph': {'showBranches': true,'showCommitLabel': false}} }%%
gitGraph
    commit
    commit
    commit
    commit
    commit
    branch feature
    checkout feature
    commit
    commit
    checkout main
{{</mermaid>}}

Creates a git graph that looks like this at present. image with the commit labels deliberately removed in this example.

Look into doing this bottom to top, so the diagrams look more similar to gitkraken's graph

Unfortunately this is not a thing *sigh* - requested feature for @mermaid-js but alas not yet.

Also AFAICT there is no good way of resizing mermaid graphs in hugo either...

Maybe long term we could look to migrating to GitHub Pages?

I came across a possible solution to this the other day.

The mermaid.live site provides the ability to copy a Markdown link to a graph you have previewed. I've embedded these in the Carpentries Sandpaper Workbench site and they render nicely and seem to do so here on GitHub so I suspect they will work with this site.

Here's a messy graph I once drew to demonstrate something
