GITk emulation in full GIT command line

One line GIT command to emulate a "gitk like" log:

git log --graph --full-history --all --color \
    --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)%cN <%cE>%Creset'

The same without full history:

git log --graph --all --color \
    --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)%cN <%cE>%Creset'

The same (again) with ISO dates:

git log --graph --full-history --all --color \
    --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cD) %C(bold blue)%cN <%cE>%Creset'

To define one of these as a GIT alias, use:

git config --global alias.lg "log ..."

These lines are taken from many websites over the web ...
