Basic shell script to set a few global git configurations for easier log filtering. After running, use the `git graph` command for viewing a repository's merge history.

git-tweaks.sh

#!/bin/bash

# git-tweaks.sh

# Setup a slick default 'git log' display
git config --global log.date relative
git config --global log.abbrevCommit true
git config --global format.pretty 'format:"%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset"'

# Alias for 'git graph' since log.graph isn't a valid config
git config --global alias.graph "log --graph"

# Use .mailmap name author mappings when found in root of a repo
git config --global log.mailmap true

# Show the config values
git config --list
