in my .gitconfig i have

[alias] glg = log --oneline --decorate --all --graph

This allows me to get a quick overview over all branches with pushes that are recent enough for most cases.

I was unfamiliar with the decorate flag, but I can’t see any difference after trying.

I will say this is one command I absolutely refuse to create an alias for.

I have force committed to memory the command: git log --graph --remotes --all (and the variation with the –oneline flag appended to the end if needed) so I can use it anywhere.

It’s the one command I can’t live without.
