Step 1: Extract details from Repo into Json form

The application delves into the .git folder and looks at all the objects that are contained within. By running 'git cat-file' against these objects we can determine various details and use this to construct the git graph in Json form.

Step 2: Upload the Json to the cloud

The extracted Json from step 1 is now uploaded to the cloud and assigned a unique random ID so that it can be accessed only by yourself.

Step 3: The Visual Git website extracts this information

Poll the Cloud storage and compare the data against our current data. If different then draw the Json objects to the screen
