Useful git log output

git log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr by %cn)%Creset' --abbrev-commit --date=relative

Add it to your config file by doing:

git config --global alias.lg log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr by %cn)%Creset' --abbrev-commit --date=relative

Then all you have to do is git lg.
