NAME

git-dag - The sleek and powerful Git history browser

SYNOPSIS

git dag [options] [<revision-range>] [[--] [<path>...]]

DESCRIPTION

git-dag is an advanced Git history visualizer that presents git log 's powerful features in an easy to use graphical interface.

OPTIONS

<revision-range>

Show only commits in the specified revision range. When no <revision-range> is specified, it defaults to HEAD (i.e. the whole history leading to the current commit).

origin..HEAD specifies all the commits reachable from the current commit (i.e. HEAD ), but not from origin .

For a complete list of ways to spell <revision-range> , see the Specifying Ranges section of gitrevisions(7) ( man gitrevisions ).

--prompt

Prompt for a Git repository instead of using the current directory.

-r, --repo <path>

Open the git repository located at <path> . Defaults to the current directory.

--version

Print the version number and exit.

-h, --help

Show usage and optional arguments.

LOG ARGUMENTS

The Log text field allows you to pass arguments to git log . This can be used to filter the displayed history, for example entering main -- Makefile will display only commits on the main branch that touch the Makefile .

The Log text field lets you interactively edit and replace the [<revision-range>] [[--] [<path>...]] arguments that were initially specified on the command-line.

CONTEXT-MENU ACTIONS

The right-click menu can be used to perform various actions. All actions operate on the selected commit.

You can create branches and tags, cherry-pick commits, save patches, export tarballs, and grab files from older commits using the context menu.

DIFF COMMITS

You can diff arbitrary commits. Select a single commit in either the list view or the graph view and then right-click on a second commit.

A menu will appear allowing you to diff the two commits.

SHORTCUTS

You can run commands using dedicated shortcuts. Select a single commit and then press Ctrl-Alt-c to copy sha1 or Ctrl-d to run diff tool.

You can read more about hotkeys from 'keyboard shortcuts' window or context menu.

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES

log.date

Set the default date-time format for the 'Date' field. Setting a value for log.date is similar to using git log 's --date option. Possible values are relative , local , default , iso , rfc , and short ; see git-log(1) for details.
