Pretty git log

I have an alias (glp) saved in my shell for making a pretty git log.

Terminal window
git log --graph --abbrev-commit --decorate --format=format:"%C(bold blue)%h%C(reset) - %C(bold cyan)%aD%C(reset) %C(bold green)(%ar)%C(reset)%C(auto)%d%C(reset)%n%C(white)%s%C(reset)%C(dim white)- %an%C(reset)"

I honestly don’t care what all the bits do, and stole the line from stack overflow, but I use it a lot.
