Quote from article:

"Remember that your version might do --all by default when output goes to the terminal instead of a file"

Which version of Git does --all by default?

I think they meant to say "might do --decorate by default" (which Git does since v2.13.0).

Indeed, have updated - the all and decorate sections got jumbled up in an edit earlier.

The ones distributed in Ubuntu and MinGW do. Probably many others as well.

EDIT: Or not. It's off by default actually.

Which version of Ubuntu? The last time I checked, --all was not enabled by default in Ubuntu? Can someone confirm if this is indeed true?

If this is indeed true, how do they achieve this? Do they modify git source code to achieve this?

Nevermind, I made a mistake and tested it on a repo where ---all would have little noticeable effect. It is indeed disabled by default. That said, custom source edits are entirely possible. Canonical does keep their own repositories after all [1].

You can't override existing Git commands with aliases.
