SYNOPSIS
git map [<extra_args>…]
DESCRIPTION
Git map formats the output of git log --graph
from all refs such that:
-
Current branch is cyan.
-
Local branches are green.
-
Remote branches are red.
-
Tags are magenta.
-
Merge Base markers are white.
-
The currently checked out commit is highlighted with a blue background.
The output is automatically piped through the less
pager command, even on
windows.
OPTIONS
- <extra_args>…
-
Extra parameters to pass to the internal git-log(1) invocation. This can be used to restrict what refs git map operates on, etc.
If you run git map with a series of fixed arguments frequently, you can use the depot-tools.map-extra configuration variable to pre-set arguments (See
CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
)
CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
depot-tools.map-extra
Each value of the depot-tools.map-extra config variable is applied as an
additional argument to git log
during the execution of git map. If you wish to
configure this, use git config --add depot-tools.map-extra <value>
to do so.
EXAMPLE
Running git map would result in an output something like:
$ git map

As you can see, the structure of the commit history is visible, particularly what the parents of each commit are. In order to see the upstream relationships of the branches (i.e. which branch is tracking which other branch), use the git-map-branches(1) command.
