bd graph

Generated from bd help --doc graph

Display a visualization of an issue's dependency graph.

For epics, shows all children and their dependencies. For regular issues, shows the issue and its direct dependencies.

With --all, shows all open issues grouped by connected component.

Display formats: (default) DAG with columns and box-drawing edges (terminal-native) --box ASCII boxes showing layers, more detailed --compact Tree format, one line per issue, more scannable --dot Graphviz DOT format (pipe to dot -Tsvg > graph.svg) --html Self-contained interactive HTML with D3.js visualization

The graph shows execution order:

Layer 0 / leftmost = no dependencies (can start immediately)
Higher layers depend on lower layers
Nodes in the same layer can run in parallel

Status icons: ○ open ◐ in_progress ● blocked ✓ closed ❄ deferred

Examples: bd graph issue-id # Terminal DAG visualization (default) bd graph --box issue-id # ASCII boxes with layer grouping bd graph --dot issue-id | dot -Tsvg > graph.svg # SVG via Graphviz bd graph --dot issue-id | dot -Tpng > graph.png # PNG via Graphviz bd graph --html issue-id > graph.html # Interactive browser view bd graph --all --html > all.html # All issues, interactive

      --html      Output self-contained interactive HTML (redirect to file)

bd graph check

Check the dependency graph for cycles, orphans, and other integrity issues.

Returns exit code 0 if the graph is clean, 1 if issues are found.
