Hi Amine, Would you be able to provide a link to any particular example that you felt may have been formatted via `git log` or similar. Likely places are via the //git-scm.com/doc <https://git-scm.com/docs/git-log> site, and/or (even better) via /git.git/Documentation/ <https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/git-log.txt> 's files (especially with line number selection;-).
I suspect that the examples will have been hand crafted as a retrospective that tries to look nice on the doc pages, rather than represent a real output. That said, it doesn't mean it can't be done (or extended to do it). [Aside: Things like the hex oid (instead of tag) could be extended/simplified to use 10 bits of oid, as the first two hex digits (bits 0-7 counting from msb), and capitalised based on bits 8 & 11 of the oid (i.e. third char is 0-7/8-f, and even/odd). Or something like that (just realise 0-9 can't be capitalised easily, doh!). Very compact, low chance of collision. ] On Friday, October 14, 2022 at 12:08:18 PM UTC+1 amine.ab...@gmail.com wrote: > Suppose I have a small local repo which I have set up exactly as follows, > following the docs <https://git-scm.com/docs/git-rebase> for rebasing > with Git : > > A---B---C topic > / > D---E---F---G master > > I tag each commit with its respective letter, D, E or F for example. > > I would like to construct a git log command which would provide me with > exactly the log shown above.
