I use git log --all --graph --oneline --simplify-by-decoration to show large git commit history, but there is no commit date, what can add date?

Answer 1

Following seems to be the closest to what you need based on your color needs, it adds commit date per your format, check it out to see if it helps:

git log --all --graph --oneline --simplify-by-decoration --date=short --pretty=format:"%C(yellow)%h%Creset%C(red)%C(bold)%d%Creset%C(white)(%cd)%Creset %s"

For further reading and to choose from a myriad number of options check the Pretty Format docs as listed by @tymtam on the other answer above :Pretty Format docs

May I set HEAD -> to cyan, local branch name to green and remote branch to red? – Escheat

@Escheat try this: git log --all --graph --oneline --simplify-by-decoration --date=short --pretty=format:"%h%C(auto)%d%C(reset) %s (%an, %ar)%d%Creset%C(white)(%cd)%Creset %s" – Liman

So, the above should give you the default colors for Head, local and remote branch and also has the date in your desired format(YYYY-MM-DD), inorder to play around with colors further check the docs out. – Liman

Here is what I need git log --graph --all --oneline --simplify-by-decoration --date=format:%Y-%m-%d\ %H:%M:%S --pretty=format:"%C(yellow)%h%C(auto)%d% %C(white) %cd%Creset %s". Thank you very much! You gave me the hints:) – Escheat

Sounds awesome 👍 – Liman

Answer 2

You can try --pretty='%h %an %aD %s'

See Pretty Formats

Update for 'I want to keep the original color and date in YYYY-MM-DD format...'

git log your_other_options --pretty='%Cgreen%h%Creset %Cblue% cd%Creset %smont' --date=short
