alias = !git config --get-regexp alias
Historical Commit Aliases

[alias]
histogram = !git log -20 --date=human --pretty=format:\"%ad %h %an | %s\" --graph
histowho = !git log -10 --date=human --format=format:\"%C(yellow)%h%C(reset) (%C(blue)%an%C(reset)) %ad | %s\"
loghead = !git log -18 --decorate --date=human –oneline
