log-so-handy

A simple and convenient Git tool to easily check your commits.

Usage

$ git hlog   [-a <author name>] 
             [-d <days-ago>]
             [-f]
             [-h]

Options description:

• -a - Restrict search for a specific user (use -a "all" for all users)
• -d - Display commits for the last n days
• -f - Fetch the latest changes
• -h - Show help screen

How to use:

Once the commits are displayed, you can use the arrow keys or j/k to switch between commits, press TAB to expand/reduce the commit's diff or q to quit.

Limitaions:

when the number of lines between the commits list and a commit's diff is higher than the current terminal session's number of lines, the result will be displayed using the less program which will open the diff in a separate screen. You can still use either TAB or q to return to the commits list.

Examples

$ git hlog
# By default (without options), the command will display commits from yesterday and
# for the current user.

$ git hlog -d 5 -a "Doge"
# The command will show all Doge's commits from 5 days ago.

$ git hlog -d 5 -a "all"
# The command will show commits of all contributors from 5 days ago.

$ git hlog -f
# Fetch commits beforehand.
