to since the timeline is generated from a CSV that you create using
git log.

Who can see the timelines I create?

to share with others. You can also download it as a PDF or as an
image from that page.

Does Preceden save the CSV long term?

Preceden saves the CSV temporarily while it generates the timeline,
then permanently deletes it.

commit.

What customization options are available?

commits for a person to be included, give the timeline a name, and
more. This info is all saved in your browser's local storage so you
