Hi forks, People including me are asking feature to use different format for log and show: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20579889/different-pretty-formats-for-git-log-and-git-show https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37898232/make-different-pretty-settings-for-git-log-and-git-show Can we consider add such option to git-config [format] mylogformat = <...> myshowformat = <...> [log] format = mylogformat [show] format = myshowformat Which should work same as git log --format=mylogformat git show --format=myshowformat
