Set the alias in git:

$ git config --global alias.smartlog "log --graph --pretty=format:'commit: %C(bold red)%h%Creset %C(red)<%H>%Creset %C(bold magenta)%d %Creset%ndate: %C(bold yellow)%cd %Creset%C(yellow)%cr%Creset%nauthor: %C(bold blue)%an%Creset %C(blue)<%ae>%Creset%n%C(cyan)%s%n%Creset'"

$ git config --global alias.sl '!git smartlog'

Usage:

# can use 'git smartlog' or the shorter 'git sl'
$ git sl

Awesome. Thank you!

It's beautiful!

FWIW, I've been living off this one for a while, which I think I got on SO:

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

It's one line per commit, with tags, commuter name, graph structure, and colorization.

Thank you <3

thanks and this is what I search for every time i setup a new devserver
