These Git commands help you visualize and explore your project's commit history, with options for displaying a graphical representation, listing branches, and controlling the level of detail in the output.

Run example

npm run import -- "interesting git commands"

interesting git commands

git log --graph --oneline --decorate --all

git log --graph --all

git show-branch --list

bash
#!/bin/bash

# Function to print Git log with graph, oneline, and decorate
show_git_log() {
  git log --graph --oneline --decorate --all
}

# Function to print Git log with graph and all commits
show_git_commits() {
  git log --graph --all
}

# Function to print Git show-branch with list
show_git_show_branch() {
  git show-branch --list
}

# Main function to call other functions
main() {
  # Print Git log with graph, oneline, and decorate
  echo "Git Log with Graph, Oneline, and Decorate:"
  show_git_log

  # Print Git log with graph and all commits
  echo -e "\nGit Log with Graph and All Commits:"
  show_git_commits

  # Print Git show-branch with list

These are Git commands used for visualizing and navigating your project's commit history. Let's break them down:

1. git log --graph --oneline --decorate --all

• git log: This is the core command for viewing commit history.
• --graph: Displays a graphical representation of the commit history as a tree-like structure.
• --oneline: Shows each commit on a single line, making the output more concise.
• --decorate: Adds information about branches to the commit messages (e.g., master, develop).
• --all: Includes commits from all branches, not just the current one.

2. git log --graph --all

• Similar to the first command, but without the --oneline and --decorate flags. This will show a more detailed log with multiple lines per commit.

3. git show-branch --list

• git show-branch: This command is used to list all branches in your repository.
• --list: Displays a simple list of branch names.

In Summary:

• The first two commands provide different ways to visualize your commit history, with varying levels of detail.
• The third command simply lists all the branches in your repository.
