How to understand the graph output of `git log --all --graph --oneline --decorate`?

On startup git log --all --graph --oneline --decorate

, what does the text in parentheses after the commit names mean?

for example

enter image description here

What do the colors (blue, green, red and yellow) used to color the lines mean? Any other colors you can use that aren't shown here?

What does it mean ->

?

What does /

between origin

and B...

either staging

mean or mean?

In the first line of output

  • does it HEAD -> B...

    mean the HEAD of the branch is B...

    pointing to a commit?
  • What does it mean origin/B...

    ?

On the 5th line of output

  • means tag: 1...

    something similar to HEAD -> B...

    the first line?
  • what's staging

    in green?
  • What are those three comma-separated lines on this line, but only two on the first line?

On the 6th line of output

  • Why is there only one line, less than the first and fifth lines?

Thank.

Its a huge amount of questions ^ _ ^.

bracket

The bracketed text indicates tags, branches, and a HEAD pointer, if any, and if your working directory is here. You change the HEAD pointer (your worker) every time you start git checkout SOMETHING

where something is a tag, branch, or just a commit hash.

colors

The color depends on the configuration of your terminal. I have the following colors:

  • purple for bookmarks
  • red for remote branches
  • white bold for local branches and tags
  • yellow for commit messages

in your image i see

  • red for remote branches
  • red for local branches
  • Yellow bold for tags
  • yellow for commit hashes



It's just a pointer. HEAD -> 45g24g42t

indicates that your HEAD (your working directory is at commit 45g24g42t.

Origin / blah

Every time you clone a project, you can see this:

* 3G245GV (HEAD -> 3G245GV, foo, origin/foo)

      

This means that your local branch foo

is at the same point on the remote branch foo

. Usually remotes are named origin

. If you do a commit, you can see something like this on your computer:

* G54G23F (HEAD -> G54G23F, foo)
* 3G245GV (origin/foo)

      

This means that your local branch is ahead of origin / foo. This means that you have to push your commits.

Thats all

Some of the questions are superfluous, but I'll improve this answer if necessary.
