In a computer-implemented method for automatically presenting a visualization of information within a terminal for interfacing with a distributed version control system, an input is received at a command line interface of a terminal for interfacing with a distributed version control system, the input including an operation to be performed by the distributed version control system. The operation to be performed by the distributed version control system is identified based on the input. The operation is executed to generate output of the operation. The output is displayed within the command line interface. A graphical visualization of the output is automatically displayed within a visualization pane of the terminal, wherein the graphical visualization is interactive.
