YoLog !

Beautify your git logs !

Here is how default git logs look like:

Yolog wraps over standard git log and represents commit message history in a compact manner. It provides a visualization of commit graph, and shows refs, tags and unmerged branches altogether. A yolog powered git log looks like this:

Installation

Obtain stable release from PyPI

pip install yolog

To obtain the bleeding edge version, clone the repo and build it from source:

git clone https://www.github.com/karandesai-96/yolog
cd yolog && python setup.py build

Usage

To view yolog powered git log, simply execute yolog in terminal.
For brief instructions, execute yolog -h or yolog --help in terminal.

It also accepts arguments which are used to filter output. These arguments are same as those accepted by standard git log. Here are the most common used ones:

Command Example	Description
`yolog -n`	Display recent `n` commits.
`yolog --skip=n`	Skip recent `n` commits and display further.
`yolog --author=karan`	Filter commits according to author. Part of name / whole will be accepted.
`yolog --before=dd-mmm-yyyy`	Display commits before this date.
`yolog --until=dd/mmm/yyyy`	Display commits before this date.
`yolog --after=dd/mmm/yyyy`	Display commits after this date.
`yolog --since=dd-mmm-yyyy`	Display commits after this date.
`yolog --grep="foo\ bar"`	Display commits with "foo bar" in their description.

Any of these can be combined together and used.
Regular expressions are also accepted in grep and author.
Use escape character if using whitespace: yolog --grep="fixes\ bug"

Features

Tabulated commit history with shortened hashes, author, date and commit message (refs included if present).
Colored fields for better readability, with visualization of commit graph.
Vertical as well as horizontol pagination for longer commit history / smaller terminal window.
