我怎样才能找到`git log`的别名？

Question

I have my git log formatted a specific way, which works when I call git lg (note the lack of an o) and it looks quite nice. I got it from a stackoverflow answer and all I had to do was enter something in the command line, like git config ... or something, and voila, git lg worked.

However, I'm on a new computer now and I want that to work again. How do I get what git lg is mapped to?

Answer 1

This will output the alias: git config alias.lg

In general, you can get at an alias with git config alias.<alias> . You could also look in the .gitconfig file and copy its contents, although the git config command is probably easier.

Also, I strongly suspect this was your alias . The original is here but is throwing a 500 error for me right now (archived on archive.org ) . For folks to lazy to click the links:

log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit --date=relative
