• Install diff-so-fancy via their website (or just run npm install -g diff-so-fancy)
• Add the following to your .gitconfig file:

[core]
  pager = diff-so-fancy | less --tabs=1,5 -R

• I find that these colors work best with it, but it's up to you if you want to add them to your .gitconfig or not.

[color "diff"]
 meta = "yellow bold"

Fancy Git Logs

This is a quick tutorial that shows you how to set up logs for Git that will only display commits from your current branch!

Instructions

First, you'll need to set up a helper file that contains some Bash functions that Git will use. I placed mine in .githelpers.

Here are the scripts you'll need. If you use a different format, remove the --pretty=colored argument, or change colored to the name of the format you use.
