Pretty git log

If you are seeing that default git log is not visual and hard to read. You can try to do some customizes by using --graph and --pretty.

git log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Or shorter with alias

git config --global alias.lg "log --color --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Finally

git lg
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Let try to update colors as you like.
Happy coding!
