You can make it work if you think step-by-step. First, this is what you want to run: sh -c 'git log --format="..." "$@" | sed "s/@\S*//"' - so that "git euguess master..next" would turn into sh -c 'git log --format="..." "$@" | sed "s/@\S*//"' - master..next Now, you want to wrap it into an alias, i.e. [alias] euguess = "!sh -c ..." That ... part is read by our configuration reader, so you need to quote the double quotes and backslashes with backslash, which would give you something like: [alias] euguess = "!sh -c 'git log --format=\"%h %ae %s\" --date=short \"$@\" | sed \"s/@\\S*//\"' -" -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
