I know I can do a git log to see the commit history from where I am, but is there a way to see the entire branch topography, something like these ascii maps that seem to be used everywhere...

If I have a class that instead subscribes to an event and has to update the GUI in the event handler, is there an analogous concept? Or do I have to write the InvokeRequired boilerplate code? ...

I'm new to NetBeans and am struggling with how to correctly use its GUI builder. I can construct the GUI just fine with the design editor, however, when I make changes directly to the source code, those changes are not reflected in the design editor, or during run time.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to deal with writing multiple GUI windows using Flash Components.

Since each layer holds these GUI componen...
