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 :)
