A nice visual log for Git command line

I like having a quick visual log for Gits command line. Here’s a little git alias which’ll display a brief and colorful summary for your projects.
Enter the following code in terminal or git bash.

You can now generate a visual tree style log, open your shell

# show me everything
$ git vlog
# show the last 6 commits
$ git vlog -n6

git-vlog

# Git visual log displays commit tree view with who did what when and in which branch

git config alias.vlog 'log --graph --date-order --date=relative --pretty=format:"%C(cyan)%h: %Cblue - %an - %Cgreen %C(cyan)%ar:%Creset%n%s%n" --color'

# usage: 
#  git vlog 
#   git vlog -n6

# To find a branch for a given commit:
#   git branch --contains <HASH>
