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

Access repository.

* API

* Git clone (request link)

!/bin/bash

git clone 'link' tree -hJ >> overview.json

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

Evolution of the data viz: linear > tree > rhizome
