What is the meaning of colored lines in commit graphs drawn by Eclipse?

I am trying to understand some parts of the GIT graph in Eclipse.

We will refer to salespeople as G, A, R, J and K.

In this case, we have two branches: master and agfa (dev branch). Commit 5cc4355: What does the green line mean? This is not a new branch, so I guess that means the local repository was diverging ... somehow. Commit 9d4035d . Here "A" combined the agfa branch with the master. But why the merger on the yellow line instead of the real master? (Blue).

I think I am just confused by the fact that simultaneous developments work in different workstations ... but if someone can confirm what is happening, it will be very useful :)

Eclipse related links are linked with colored lines to help you read the fix graph, but these colored lines have little to do with branches (in the sense of Git).

Git terminology is a bit confusing, but remember that a branch is nothing more than a link pointing to a specific commit at a given time .

You cannot bind Git branches and everything that your IDE uses to represent a sequence of related commits.

Commit 5cc4355: What does the green line mean? This is not a new branch, so I guess that means the local repository was diverging ... somehow.

, ( ) 5cc4335. : , (.. ), , node .

"A" agfa . ? ().

commit , , A agfa master, master commit 9d4035d. () .
