This is an awesome script.

Quick question: After it has run for a certain period of time it simply stops. It shows "(END)" at the very bottom and wont continue looping.

What can this issue be?

@sebastianjt Not sure! Is your log longer than the terminal window? Sometimes I'll run it with a commit limit (git loglive -15) to help things fit.

I just wanted to share a modification of this script. it shows the logs depending on the position of HEAD.

#!/bin/bash

while :
do
    clear
    git --no-pager log `git rev-parse HEAD` -n $* --graph --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit --decorate
    sleep 1
done

Nice snippet. I just caught your talk on YouTube. Thanks, it cleared up a lot of confusion. Side note, my dyslexia read this snippet as got-love :)

I came across Git From The Bits Up on YouTube and, wow, you actually talk about things I've never heard of in nearly six years of using Git! I'm learning instead of reviewing! Thanks!
