It’s weird if GitHub doesn’t have that. Gitlab does. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner/-/network/main
`git log --graph --decorate --oneline` is specific to a branch of a repository. Github Network shows the relationship between forks. It is similar but really the question answered by it is "what and where is the work being done" and "what is the relationship between work being done and this repository I'm looking at". It sucks that Network is buried, I think it should be much more accessible.
Eg https://github.com/sindresorhus/delay/network tells me that this work is being maintained actively, but most forks are not merging back. Another one might tell me work on the main fork is stalled, and many users are now doing PRs against a fork of the original.
You might be interested in my project https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless, which is intended to replicate such a workflow.
> I feel similar about Markdown (though I won't call it user hostile). Because there were and there are better and accessible/uncomplicated alternatives.
I don't know; all of the lightweight markup formats are a mess. AsciiDoc/AsciiDoctor is almost great but they seem to have completely borked escaping of inline punctutation[1]
Restructured Text is very "meh" but is better than markdown because directives at least make it more sanely extensible. The downside is it's missing lots of features in its core becase "you can just use a directive"
Markdown was actually pretty good for its original purpose (write html with fewer html tags), but completely falls down for its current common use case (untrusted user input, where you won't allow the user to fallback on html).
