Shit – An implementation of Git using POSIX shell

And you can see this structure if you add to any "git log" command "--graph --oneline --decorate --color". IIRC some of those are unnecessary in recent versions of git, I just remember needing all of them at the point I started using it regularly.

I have a bash function for it (with a ton of other customizations, but it boils down to this):

  function pwlog() {
    git log "$@" --graph --oneline --decorate --color | less -SEXIER
  }
  pwlog --all -20

(...in that "less" command, "S" truncates instead of wraps lines, one "E" exits at EOF, "X" prevents screen-clearing, and "R" is to keep the color output. The second "E" does nothing special, it and "I" (case-insensitive search) are just to complete the word)

You can also set $GIT_PAGER/core.pager/$PAGER and create an alias to accomplish this:

  #export PAGER='less -SEXIER'
  #export GIT_PAGER='less -SEXIER'
  git config --global core.pager 'less -SEXIER'
  git config --global alias.l 'log --graph --oneline --decorate --color'
  # git diff ~/.gitconfig
  git l

core.pager: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#Documentation/git-config...

> The order of preference is the $GIT_PAGER environment variable, then core.pager configuration, then $PAGER, and then the default chosen at compile time (usually less).
