YoLog !

Beautify your git logs !

Git logs look like this by default:

Yolog wraps over standard git log and represents commit message history in a compact manner. It provides a visualization of commit graph, and shows refs, tags and unmerged branches altogether. A yolog powered git log looks like this:

Installation

Obtain stable release from PyPI

pip install yolog

Alternatively, to obtain the bleeding edge version, clone the repo and build it from source:

git clone https://www.github.com/karandesai-96/yolog
cd yolog && python setup.py install

Usage

• To view yolog powered git log, simply execute yolog in terminal.
• For brief instructions, execute yolog -h or yolog --help in terminal.
• For changing color of any attribute, execute command of format yolog config attribute COLOR.
  • Alternatively, -c or --config work as well.
  • attribute can be one of: author, date, description, hash, refs
  • COLOR can be one of: RED, GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE, CYAN, PURPLE, BLACK, WHITE
  • Arguments attribute and COLOR are case insensitive.

• It also accepts arguments which are used to filter output. These arguments are same as those accepted by standard

git log.

Here are the most common used ones:

• Any of these can be combined together and used.
• = can be optionally used in args as: yolog --skip=10
• Regular expressions are also accepted in grep and author.
• Use inverted commas and escape character if using whitespace: yolog --grep "fixes\ bug"

Features

• Tabulated commit history with shortened hashes, author, date and commit message (refs included if present).
• Colored fields for better readability, with visualization of commit graph.
• Vertical as well as horizontol pagination for longer commit history / smaller terminal window.
• Flexibility to change color of any part of log by a single command.
