Lately I’ve started to gravitate from GIT GUI’s tools to CLI.
What I missed was graphical representation of development of ehm… development.
However as with most popular open source tools , there’s solution for almost everything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Simple<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Just type in following command and enjoy. Well there are few downsides but it’s simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

git log --graph -all<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Most apparent downsides for some of us might be paging (git won’t finish \/ continue without user input in one go) and each commit taking multiple lines making even small three taking up multiple pages worth of lines.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Most options<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
if you prefer perfectly customized output you can in fact create formatted output by going all the way of adjusting all multiple little details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
git log --graph --abbrev-commit --decorate --format=format:'%C(bold blue)%h%C(reset) - %C(bold green)(%ar)%C(reset) %C(white)%s%C(reset) %C(dim white)- %an%C(reset)%C(bold yellow)%d%C(reset)' --all<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
output<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Obviously it’s not for free and you might end up with pretty long command line.  You can however write it only once and then save it under global alias.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Best of both worlds<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
 And at least solution which doesn’t need 4 full lines of code but also delivers quite attractive result. Best thing is, it can be modyfied<\/p>\n\n\n\n
git log --pretty=format:\"%h %cr %s\" --graph --all<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
–pretty=format:”…” basically let’s you define table next to the “graphical” three.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Specifier<\/th>Description of Output<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
%H<\/code><\/td>Commit hash<\/td><\/tr>
%h<\/code><\/td>Abbreviated commit hash<\/td><\/tr>
%T<\/code><\/td>Tree hash<\/td><\/tr>
%t<\/code><\/td>Abbreviated tree hash<\/td><\/tr>
%P<\/code><\/td>Parent hashes<\/td><\/tr>
%p<\/code><\/td>Abbreviated parent hashes<\/td><\/tr>
%an<\/code><\/td>Author name<\/td><\/tr>
%ae<\/code><\/td>Author email<\/td><\/tr>
%ad<\/code><\/td>Author date (format respects the --date=option<\/code>)<\/td><\/tr>
%ar<\/code><\/td>Author date, relative<\/td><\/tr>
%cn<\/code><\/td>Committer name<\/td><\/tr>

Output<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
As you can see. You get quite pleasing output with minimal code.
