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

_{Note the -10 at the end, to show only the last 10 entries.}

Use predefined git alias (hs - short for history):

git hs

Created once by command:

git config --global alias.hs "log --pretty='%C(yellow)%h %C(cyan)%ad %Cblue%an%C(auto)%d %Creset%s' --date=relative --date-order --graph"

%h = abbreviated commit hash
%ad = author date (format respects --date= option, so you can adjust it later)
%an = author name
%d = ref names
%s = subject
