Git Tree commands

Here's part of my ~/.gitconfig.global

[user]

[alias]
    # View the tree!
    tree = log --oneline --decorate --all --graph
    tr = log --oneline --decorate --all --graph
    t = log --color --date-order --graph --oneline --decorate --simplify-by-decoration --branches
    ta = log --color --date-order --graph --oneline --decorate --simplify-by-decoration --all

    # other aliases that are so useful
    st = status
    s = status
    c = commit -v
    p = pull
    b = branch
    co = checkout
    su = submodule update --init --recursive
    mt = mergetool
    ld = log --decorate

g t is the short form: it only shows branches & tags (no intermediate commits)

g tree (or g tr) is the long form -- it shows all the commits, with branches annotated

g a is just like g t, but it also includes remote branches and stashes.
