Like a on gitk but ncurses based? I can get all paths in git log --graph, but I can't get the branch labels. I can get all branch labels in tig, but only for the current branch. Is there any feature that has the best of both worlds in a text-based environment? I ask to text-based as I only have shell access to the server, an X Windows environment.

Have you tried --decorate? I have an alias for this: alias.logk = log --graph --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit --decorate HTH, Santi ``` ## Bill Lear, 2009-11-16 13:30 Subject: Re: Git graph with branch labels for all paths in text environment Message-ID: <19201.21478.127959.431877@lisa.zopyra.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/19201.21478.127959.431877%40lisa.zopyra.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Monday, November 16, 2009 at 13:23:10 (+0100) Santi Béjar writes: >On Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 1:03 PM, rhlee wrote: >> Is there anyway to to view a text based git grah that shows all paths with >> the branch labels?

Very readable. I thought someone on this list posted something about a tool that could produce such graphs from reasonably-sized git repos. Anyone have such a thing?

Very readable. I thought someone on this list posted > something about a tool that could produce such graphs from > reasonably-sized git repos. Anyone have such a thing? You really mean horizontally? I know those wide screen monitors are becoming ubiquitious, but still... Or are you more after the "in-line" part in the sense that "each branch is on its line"? This is a bit difficult to define, though (the graph above is linear, e.g.).

You can browse all branches by using: tig --all However, the graph drawing is rather poor for complex git histories. -- Jonas Fonseca ``` ## rhlee, 2009-11-23 09:56 Subject: Re: Git graph with branch labels for all paths in text environment Message-ID: <1258970187042-4050140.post@n2.nabble.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1258970187042-4050140.post%40n2.nabble.com In-Reply-To: <2c6b72b30911210950m7f90f210saf3c32c1a3cbdebe@mail.gmail.com> ``` Jonas Fonseca wrote: > > You can browse all branches by using: tig --all > Thanks this great as this saves me from quitting tig to view all branch histories.
