Git graph with branch labels for all paths in text environment

Git graph with branch labels for all paths in text environment

[rhlee]

Hi git forum,

Is there anyway to to view a text based git grah that shows all paths with
the branch labels? 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.

Regards,

Richard

For third-party tools you can check:

Have you tried  --decorate?

I have an alias for this:

alias.logk = log --graph --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit --decorate

HTH,

Anything that can print this?:

                                       H---I---J topicB
                                      /
                             E---F---G  topicA
                            /
               A---B---C---D  master

I've always liked the text-based format that keeps things in-line, as
above.  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.

Thanks this great as this saves me from quitting tig to view all branch
histories.

I'm working on 3-4 current branches and it's fine for me.


Thanks,
