- pretty.<name>
-
Alias for a --pretty= format string, as specified in linkgit:git-log[1]. Any aliases defined here can be used just as the built-in pretty formats could. For example, running
git config pretty.changelog "format:* %H %s"
would cause the invocationgit log --pretty=changelog
to be equivalent to runninggit log "--pretty=format:* %H %s"
. Note that an alias with the same name as a built-in format will be silently ignored.
