How to set Alias for Git command?

Introduction

Describes how to set an alias for a Git command.
It all started when I happened to be using Git in my work and was curious about alias settings.

About Alias

This setting is used to omit commands used in Git.

Example

• Before Abbreviation

git status

• After Abbreviation

git s

Setup Procedure

Commands to set Alias settings

Perform Alias configuration for the following commands

git log --graph --all --color --pretty='%x09%h %s %Cred%d%Creset %C(green)- %ad%Creset c:%cn:%ce a:%an:%ae' --date=format:'%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S%z'

This command makes the git log easier to read.
Examples of use are as follows.

% git log --graph --all --color --pretty="%x09%h %s %Cred%d%Creset %C(green)- %ad%Creset c:%cn:%ce a:%an:%ae" --date=format:"%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S%z"
*       4c001c1 Update READMD.md  (HEAD -> work, origin/work) - 2022/06/19 15:28:05+0900 c:masuwa:[e-mail] a:masuwa:[e-mail] 
*       20ac8ba Initial commit  (origin/main, origin/HEAD, main) - 2022/06/19 13:15:40+0900 c:GitHub:[e-mail] a:masuwa9028:[e-mail]
%

Alias Setting

Setting File

Range to be reflected	Configuration file to be edited
Entire system	/etc/gitconfig
User	~/.gitconfig or ~/.config/git/config
Repository	Repository root directory/.git/config

※This time, modify ~/.gitconfig.

Setting

• Modify ~/.gitconfig.

Add the following to ~/.gitconfig.

[alias]
  tree = log --graph --all --color --pretty='%x09%h %s %Cred%d%Creset %C(green)- %ad%Creset c:%cn:%ce a:%an:%ae' --date=format:'%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S%z'

• Check if the command is available.

Verify that the git tree command is working.

% git tree
*       4c001c1 Update READMD.md  (HEAD -> work, origin/work) - 2022/06/19 15:28:05+0900 c:masuwa:[e-mail] a:masuwa:[e-mail]
