## Orientation (v10.3.0+) ## Orientation (v10.3.0+)
In Mermaid, the default orientation is Left to Right. The branches are lined vertically. In Mermaid, the default orientation is for commits to run from **left to right** and for branches to be stacked on top of one another.
You can set this explicitly with `LR:` after `gitGraph`.
Usage example: Usage example:
```mermaid-example ```mermaid-example
gitGraph gitGraph LR:
commit commit
commit commit
branch develop branch develop
commit commit
commit commit

checkout main checkout main

Sometimes we may want to change the orientation. Currently, Mermaid supports two orientations: **Left to Right**(default) and **Top to Bottom**. Sometimes, we may want to change the orientation of the graph.
In order to change the orientation from top to bottom i.e. branches lined horizontally, you need to add `TB` along with `gitGraph`. Mermaid also supports a **top to bottom** orientation. In this mode, the commits run from top to bottom of the graph and branches are arranged side-by-side.
To orient the graph in this way, you need to add `TB:` after gitGraph.
