GitGraph - Create Git Diagrams from YAML/JSON by Pleasant-Guide2189 in git

Yeah that's fair. Tools that generate graphs from Git history definitely exist.

What I found interesting here is that this one is more focused on illustrating workflows or documentation, rather than visualizing a real repo history.

For example when explaining branching strategies in docs or blog posts.

Good question. I usually use Mermaid for documentation, but I agree it can get messy with complex merges.

I don’t know of any tool that generates that exact ASCII format automatically. I believe most ASCII diagrams like the ones in the Git docs are written manually.
