A few people at L3GO were asking for these git things.
Show everything, in graph form, including the diff, and merge
resolutions.
graph = log --graph --decorate --all --patch --cc
No diff, oneline.
logg = log --graph --decorate --all --oneline
Same as above, but with ISO 8601 timestamp.
logd = log --graph --decorate --all --pretty='%C(auto)%h [%ai]%d %s'
--oneline is pretty much just without the " [%ai]".
Note that for the last three, you can also do stuff like this:
git graph -SWiFi --author Alex Pilon --word-diff --word-diff-regex='\S' -w -- .profile.d
# show all commits containing containing WiFi in the diff, by yours
# truly, under the directory .profile.d. Also ignore whitespace, and
# use a word diff format, to make trivial additions and deletions to
# a line, especially when within a word (like within a function
# name, or adding a sigil, trivially visible, unlike the
# line-oriented format, or the naive word diff.
Yeah, that's a mouthful. Use a shell with decent auto-completion, and
have coworkers constantly throwing code your way that *warrants* this.
It only takes <2 seconds to type anyway, which is far less than it would
take for you to do in a GUI.
*Typically* last pull's commits, grouped by author, oneline.
See gitrevisions(7)
changelog = shortlog @{1}..@
Traditional log format, last pull.
lastlog = log @{1}..@ --date-order
Your branch's upstream. Only really useful if you're fetching instead of
pulling, and not all of us have workflows that require even having a
local, non-remote branch, that even has an upstream (think feature
branches and PRs).
ustplog = log @{upstream}..
Branches merged into current one, so you can | xargs git branch -d.
merged = branch --merged HEAD~
And if you're in the Linux kernel git repo,
linlog = log @{1}..@{0} --author='Linus Torvalds'
Warning. DO NOT USE ON INSANELY BRANCHY REPOS LIKE THE LINUX KERNEL. Do
you have any idea how many branches there are? Geez. You can't visualize
that, in any program, period. Not unless you're doing some sort of
branch collapsing (e.g., --merges, but that's only on merges, not
subsystem maintainers, etc).
Cheers,
Alex Pilon
P.S. Did you know that you can use git
