My Favourite Git Alias

I use this git alias every day, a number a times a day.  Unfortunately I don't know where I originally found it, as I did not create it, I did update it a little to my needs.

In your projects .gitconfig or your home folders ~/.gitconfig add this (just add the lg line to the [alias] section to an existing file) :


I don't have a project, that includes a lot of branching, that I am able to show you - I do have a flat project of my own that gives you an idea of what the output looks like.

If you have some great git command line tricks, please toss them my way - I live in a version control world!

Doesn't that look better than git log:
