I am using the command line version of Git and gitk. I want to see the full version tree, not just the part that is reachable from the currently checked out version. Is it possible?

if you happen to not have a graphical interface available you can also print out the commit graph on the command line:

git log --oneline --graph --decorate --all

if this command complains with an invalid option --oneline, use:

git log --pretty=oneline --graph --decorate --all
