How can I show the name of branches on every commit in `git log`

Question

In Gitk, showing a commit gives output like this:

Author: ...
Committer: ...
Parent: ...auth/parser)
Parent: ... (Merge branch '...')
Child:  ...
Branches: remotes/me/foo, foo

Is there a way to get this kind of output in git log ? Using git log --graph gives similar information, but in my repository with long-lived branches, it can take a lot of scrolling to find which branch a commit was on.

Answer 1

I use this:

git log --pretty=format:\"%h %ad [%an] %s%d\" --graph --date=short
--all --date-order

I added alias to my global .gitconfig

[alias]
    hist = log --pretty=format:\"%h %ad [%an] %s%d\" --graph --date=short --all --date-order

and can call simple git hist

It makes very pretty-to-read revisions tree with short commits hash, author, date, branches, HEADs etc on one line
