sweet, but somehow the timestamp is... weird - shows "2 days ago" for commits from yesterday...

true, the relative dates seem to have a breakpoint somewhere in the "30s of hours ago" where they switch to "2 days ago".

the original idea was to have a list of commits for the morning daily, so the the timestamps would normally not go below 24 hours.

Sure they are from 1 day ago? The command reads "--since=2.days.ago --until=1.day.ago", so it shows stuff from 2 days ago as well - works like that here.

but that wouldn't show anything from yesterday if i check it in the morning...

@romanbloeth is right, i think it should be --since=yesterday --until=6am

Anyway, big thx to you, @filtercake, as this is really a very nice and handy alias for my everyday use from now on! Great idea!
