Overview

• -git log is a command to view the commit history of a Git repository.
• --graph displays a graph of commits, which makes it easy to see the relationship between commits.
• --pretty is used to set the display format of the commit history.
• "%Cred%h%Creset -%C(auto)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%ad) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset" is the display format used for each commit. This format includes:
  • %Cred%h%Creset to display the commit hash in red.
  • -%C(auto)%d%Creset to display the branch and tag in the convention color.
  • %s to display the commit message.
  • %Cgreen(%ad) to display the commit date in green.
  • %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset to display the committer name in bold blue.

Create Alias glod with git

To create an alias using Git, use the command:

git config --global alias.glod "log --graph --pretty=\"%Cred%h%Creset -%C(auto)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%ad) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset\""

We can then call the alias from within git by using the command:

git glod

The commit history will be presented in a clearer and more informative layout.
