Revision Graph colors

[Lars]

I am new to Git Extensions. When I look at my git repository in Git
Extensions, I see the revision graph at the far left of the display.
There are various colors (blue, red, green) and the nodes are either
square or round shapes.

I have searched for an explanation for the colors and shapes but
cannot find any.

Can someone help me?

Thanks, Lars

The colors are basically random, and are there to help you tell
branches apart. Without them, it would be easy to get "lost in the
maze" on a project with complicated history. With every branch being a
different random color, though, it's easier to see where things begin
and end.

For the shapes, normal commits have circular nodes. The commit at the
head of each branch has a square.

You can adjust this stuff in the "Appearance" tab of the settings dialog.
