Honestly, I think that if "git lol" was the default log command it would do the most to make things much more obvious to newcomers. git log --oneline --graph

git log --oneline --graph
And git lola for a gestalt of the repo's recent state:
git log --oneline --graph --all
- seba_dos1 4y agoJust think about how useless and confusing the GitHub's history view is as soon as a merge is involved. Countless times I pulled something from there just to browse the graph because of how unhelpful the web UI is.
- saurik 4y agoFor how popular it is, GitHub really sucks: internet has simply miserable ways to visualize commits :/.
- Am4TIfIsER0ppos 4y agoIf you do that ^ a lot then look at the `tig` tool which is that with an ncurses ui (and some more features)
- rkeene2 4y agoI'm still looking for a tool which produces a timeline similar to Fossil's, but for git. Example Fossil graph: https://chiselapp.com/user/rkeene/repository/kitcreator/timeline?udc=1&ss=m&n=all&y=ci&advm=0 https://chiselapp.com/user/rkeene/repository/kitcreator/time...
- interactivecode 4y agogitup and other git clients for example do this: https://gitup.co/ https://gitup.co/
- rkeene2 4y agoI can't try gitup since it seems to require macOS -- ideally something web-based similar to Fossil.
- suddenclarity 4y agoI'm probably missing the details but doesn't most git GUI show a timeline like that? Such as the official desktop version and official (?) gitlens extension in VSCode? I don't use them myself though so I might be wrong.
