git log formatting

Question

I need to have format like:

git log --decorate --graph --oneline --date-order

but I need it also:

1. to contain date (short)

Answer 1

You can try:

alias.lgb=log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit --date=short --branches

It has different color, but you can change them easily.

for instance:

git log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h -%d %s (%cr) <%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit --date=short --branches
