Another developer I work with just showed me a much nicer git log command experience. It gives pretty colours, the commit id, the author and much more. The idea comes from Filipe Kiss' blog however the solution I use was submitted in the comments of the blog post by LordMonkey The following command creates an alias lg for the git log command. git config -- global alias . lg "log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit --date=relative" git lg will then result in something similar to I have blurred text to protect privacy
