(Git) Make log easier to look into

  1. Use git log --all --decorate --oneline --graph to make log prettier and more concise
    • --graph: Show the graph of different branches
    • Can even run the following to use a shorter alias instead (git adog): git config [--global] alias.adog 'log --all --decorate --oneline --graph'
  2. Limit the number of commits shown: git log -N
    • N determines the number of the most recent commits to be shown
    • Can use in conjunction with git adog: e.g. git adog -10
