The shortest possible output from git log containing author and date

Question

How can I show a git log output with (at least) this information:

* author
* commit date
* change

I want it compressed to one line per log

Answer 1

Use predefined git alias, i.e.:

$ git work

Created once by command:

$ git config --global alias.work 'log --pretty=format:"%h%x09%an%x09%ad%x09%s"'

Or more colored with graph:

$ git config --global alias.work 'log --pretty=format:"%C(yellow)%h %ar %C(auto)%d %Creset %s , %Cblue%cn" --graph --all'
