Redmine can show the timeline of a Git repository but this repository needs to
be local (see here). When you
host your repository externally (on GitHub, for instance), you need to
synchronize your remote repository on your Redmine server.
The following shell script is an All in one command that can be easily put in
the crontab to mirror the repository on your Redmine server :

if [ "run" != "$1" ]; then
exec ssh -i "$GIT_KEY" -o "StrictHostKeyChecking no" "$@"
fi
remote=$2
local=$3
echo "Mirroring from $remote to $local"
name=$(basename "$local")
export GIT_KEY="`mktemp /tmp/git.XXXXXX`"
export GIT_SSH="$0"
cat >"$GIT_KEY" <<EOF
-----BEGIN DSA PRIVATE KEY-----
### Put here your private key ###
-----END DSA PRIVATE KEY-----
EOF
if [ -d "$local" ]; then
git "--git-dir=$local" remote update
else
git clone --mirror "$remote" "$local"
fi
rm -f "$GIT_KEY"
exit 0

You need to copy the private key in the script (line 20). You can then use the
script with the following syntax
1
| git-import.sh run <remote_repository> <local_repository>
|
Notice the use of the run argument to distinguish between executions of the
script as a user and as the ssh command to be used by Git.
Here is an example:

The first time you run the script, it
creates the Git mirror. The following runs only syncs the mirror:
