Hi!
I use a custom alias that is very similar to
git log --oneline
The reason is that the command above doesn't show the signatures on
commits, and if I were to show it (--show-signature) that would take too
much space (I really want --oneline). So I use the following format:
--format=tformat:'%C(magenta)%G?%C(reset) %C(auto)%h%d%C(reset) %C(auto)%s%C(reset)'
which imitates --oneline, except for the %G? at the beginning of the
format.
A problem with it is that '%d' is unconditional. I'd like to be able to
use --no-decorate to turn it off. This would be consistent with %h
being affected by core.abbrev, and %cd and %ad being affected by
log.date.
Would you mind changing %d to be affected by --decorate=?
Have a lovely day!
Alex
