"git lg" alias for pretty git log

gistfile1.sh

# From http://garmoncheg.blogspot.com/2012/06/pretty-git-log.html
git config --global alias.lg "log --color --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit --"

Tip: Remove the last -- to be able to set flags when using the alias.

For example, to view all branches (regardless of whether they are merged into the current one) you could then do git lg --all. This works for any flags that work with the original git log command.

gracias bro

que bien

nice men

graciela mostro

Thank you!

good

You might also want to:

• Remove "forced" --color (e.g. piping)
• tformat instead of format (tl;dr: newline at the end of the command)

git config --global alias.lg "log --graph --pretty=tformat:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit --decorate=full"

You can also change -%C(yellow)%d%Creset to -%C(auto)%d%Creset if you want your branches to be different colors

Thanks

muchas gracias crack!

un capo total

nice, thank you

You can also change -%C(yellow)%d%Creset to -%C(auto)%d%Creset if you want your branches to be different colors

for posterity:

git config --global alias.lg "log --graph --pretty=tformat:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(auto)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit --decorate=full"

gracias de nuevo capo

Thanks for the snippets

I prefer to set up an alias in ~/.bashrc, so that I can simply execute the gl command directly,

alias gl="git log --abbrev-commit --graph --pretty=tformat:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(auto)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%ci) %Cblue%an <%ae>%Creset'"

thanks a lot. Putting it as an alias in ~/.bashrc is even more elegant. Could do the same for "git push" or "git pull" maybe ...?
