Git log source in pretty format

Question

Is there any way to show source while using pretty=format?

Im getting information on which track specific commit was pushed by command

git log --source --oneline

But I also need a date=short which I see cannot be used together with --oneline. But can with pretty=format. Problem is that I don't know how to show --source in pretty=format, can you help?

Answer 1

You should take a look at this post . It gives a very nice exemple of a customize git log. And also an oneliner to define it with a Git alias.

To try it, you can type:

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

To define it in an alias:

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

To use it :

git lg

To check your configuration:

git config alias.lg

To remove it:

git config --unset alias.lg

date=short

If you want to go further in the configuration, you should look at the Git pretty-formats documentation (placeholders section).

For the date you were talking about, you could change the %cr by %ad because this format respects the --date=option. So you could use --date=short as you want.

To finish there is a very powerful tool you could use if you are a command line lover like me: Tig

这将通过即将推出的 Git 2.21.0 支持的--pretty=format:%S令牌成为可能。
