Git pretty format colors

Question

I\'m trying to set up pretty format colors for Git. From what I can tell version 1.6.0 only recognizes red, green and blue.

$ git log --pretty=format:\"%Cre         


        

Answer 1

Share my git log format:

$ git log --graph --pretty=format:'%C(magenta)%h%Creset -%C(red)%d%Creset %s %C(dim green)(%cr) %C(cyan)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit

You can also add an alias into ~/.gitconfig:

[alias]
    logs  = log --graph --pretty=format:'%C(magenta)%h%Creset -%C(red)%d%Creset %s %C(dim green)(%cr) %C(cyan)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit

then you can use alias as you define in ~/.gitconfig.

$ git logs
