The Interactive Git Branching & DAG Commit Simulator illustrates version control concepts by rendering Git commits, branch pointers, and graph trees on a visual Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) timeline.

### Interactive Commit Graph Architecture The simulator provides a visual sandbox modeling core Git commit pointer behavior: - **Initial Baseline Timeline**: Boots with three sequential commits illustrating an existing project lineage: - Commit "c1" on "main" ("initial commit"). - Commit "c2" on "main" ("feat: add tools engine"). - Commit "c3" on "feature" ("feat: add dark theme"). - **Branch Pointer Actions**: - **+ Commit on Main**: Records a new commit node attributed to the "main" branch, styled with an emerald badge and incremental identifier ("c4", "c5", etc.). - **+ Commit on Feature**: Appends a new commit node attributed to the "feature" branch, styled with an indigo badge. - **Visual Node Flow**: Commits link sequentially through directional arrow connectors inside a horizontally scrollable container.

### Practical Learning Example Simulating feature development in a shared repository: 1. Review the initial state showing divergent work on "feature" ("c3") from "main" ("c2"). 2. Click **+ Commit on Main** to simulate a teammate committing a hotfix ("c4") directly to the production branch. 3. Click **+ Commit on Feature** to simulate adding secondary feature enhancements ("c5"). 4. Inspect the resulting commit graph to understand how multiple branches evolve concurrently before merging.

### In-Browser Processing & Privacy Note All commit state management, DAG node rendering, and branch pointer tracking execute strictly within local browser JavaScript memory. No Git credentials, repository histories, or source code files are transmitted to external servers.
