I'm trying to visualizing the git branch topology, but when I use $git log --graph it's been shown as a series of commits.
$ git log --graph --all --oneline
* 5c27c47 (tbranch) tbranch commit
* 01a5a93 (HEAD -> master) commit
* c49cb49 rename
* 337bd9a new file added
* bcc3d2c delete new 2
* 16e2af4 new file added
* 6984275 trying -a commit
* 1ff68e2 gif diff reviewed
* 04add98 experincing git diff
* cf34191 changed the text file
* 0ca946e new file added
I wanted it to be shown something like this:
| * commit
| * commit
| * commit
|/
|*commit

The graph shown here:
* 5c27c47 (tbranch) tbranch commit
* 01a5a93 (HEAD -> master) commit
* c49cb49 rename
* 337bd9a new file added
* bcc3d2c delete new 2
* 16e2af4 new file added
* 6984275 trying -a commit
* 1ff68e2 gif diff reviewed
* 04add98 experincing git diff
* cf34191 changed the text file
* 0ca946e new file added
does have two branches, but the two branches are linear with each other, not parallel to each other. So git log --graph
displays them that way.
More specifically, it appears that the parent of 5c27c47
(the tip of tbranch
) is 01a5a93
(the tip of master
, which you have checked-out as well). The parent of 01a5a93
is c49cb49
, and so on. If we draw these horizontally, instead of vertically, we get:
...--o--o <-- master (HEAD)
\
o <-- tbranch
where the round o
s represent the commits without showing their hash IDs.
If you had this (where I've added one more commit to master
):
...--o--o--o <-- master (HEAD)
\
o <-- tbranch
then when git log
prints this graph vertically, you will see what you want to see:
* nnnnnnn (HEAD -> master) nnnnnnn's subject
| * 5c27c47 (tbranch) tbranch commit
|/
* 01a5a93 commit
* c49cb49 rename
...
but right now there's no need for git log --graph --all --oneline
to bother doing that, so it doesn't.
