✍️ I wrote a post about my `git` superpower; being able to visualise git history in the CLI. It's no secret, but is one of my most useful aliases I have! Check it out 👀 https://www.jamestitcumb.com/posts/git-log-graph-history-visualisation #git #gitlog

@asgrim@phpc.social nice! And I 100% agree. I’ve configure `git lg` to also display the date and authors: https://github.com/gnugat/dotfiles/blob/93ad73ef828d3bc29e97325768e5f465dc9bfd9c/201-git/config/config#L38 In terms of merging strategy, I’m also a big fan of rebasing before merge, so the graph doesn’t look tangled. This is at the cost of losing the true dates, but makes it easier to read a merged branch history
