Git Stalker

I imagine a sort of 'git stalker' (it could be an online service).

Crawler > ask the link of the git repository and start the session through the Github's API (+ further data on the connection, maybe).
Overview (Map) > tree -hJ >> overview.json print the data structure in a file. D3.js use the json to produce a visualization of the structure of the directory. Kinda like the map of the links in 'web stalker': central main folder and then the other folders/files distributed around the main folder and so on recursively. (It is relevant the concept of Mind Map and Rhizome)

Github's API

It is interesting to find the web stalker on Rhizome and think about this concept at the same time.
