Right. --date is just about selecting which date format to show, not whether to show one. The decision of what to show is up to the format, and --oneline does not include a date. > The only workaround is > to create an alias and use the --pretty-format which doesn't provide > the ability to colour the branch and tag information (as far as i can > tell). You can use "%C(auto)" to turn on auto-coloring for various components: git log --format='%C(auto)%h%d %s' which reproduces the usual coloring and format of --oneline. Then you should be able to add in your own date, colored as you wish. E.g.: git log --format='%C(auto)%h%d %C(blue)%ad%C(reset) %s' If you want to use this a lot, you may want to look into the "pretty.*" config so you can trigger it with a short name. -Peff
