I have cloned a Git repository and would like to visualize the different branches and merges. I ran the following command.
git log --graph --full-history --all --color \
--pretty=format:"%x1b[31m%h%x09%x1b[32m%d%x1b[0m%x20%s"
to get the following output
and this
How do I read this? What is the significance of *
/
\
and |
? Also, is there any way to filter out the only the branching and merging from the git log
command by removing the code commits?
