Orphan Branch
It seems like the ability to create an orphanBranch was removed in v2. Could this be added back? See this previous issue regarding orphan branches from v1:
https://github.com/nicoespeon/gitgraph.js/issues/23
Indeed, we forgot about this feature. Thanks for flagging @tfinelli 👍
To simulate a orphan branch or a branch that "already" exist I use a workaround and delete the parentCommitHash and give the branch a special commit object.
I'm currently use the gitgraph-js.
const cutTimeline = {
renderMessage: function() {
return document.createElement('text');
},
renderDot: function() {
return document.createElement('circle');
},
};
const master = gitGraph.branch({
...branchTypeConfigs.master,
});
master.commit(cutTimeline);
const develop = master.branch({
...branchTypeConfigs.develop,
});
delete develop._branch.parentCommitHash;
develop.commit(cutTimeline);
Thank you @NonPolynomial that gave me 90% of what I wanted.
I now have a diagram that looks like this:
Is there any way to extend the blue line (my develop branch) down so that it begins at the same place as the grey branch (my master branch)?

tl;dr: nope, it depends on the order how and when your commits are added to the workflow
I think I tried everything, but never get to work that two branches start at the same "time" because the graph depends on "when" a commit was made (added to a branch).
to make your branch longer, you could make another commit, but it won't be as long as your master
branch
@NonPolynomial so two branches may not start from one commit? I just tried to import, and it's ok...
Does the problem only occur with orphan branches?

The issue was just about orphan branches. but this issue is 3 yrs old. Don't exactly know if that still is the case in the latest version.
You should be able to create x branches from a previous commit. You just cant add orphan commits that appear at the same "time" in the graph
