Viewing commits from multiple branches?

[gugray]

I'm looking for a way to create the view that I'm used to from GitExtensions, which I find immensely useful. It's the view that shows all commits on all branches, "guitar hero" style. I seem to be unable to achieve this view in Lazygit. Is it possible?

This is the view in GitExtensions:

In Lazygit, I always only see the commits from the currently checked out branch:

You could always supply your own git log command, would that help?

Thank you for responding! What command would I need to supply to get the multi-branch view of the timeline, and where can I do this in Lazygit?

If I've googled it correctly, the required git log flag is --all, so I've just added that to the default value.

Add this to your config.yml:

git:
  branchLogCmd: "git log --graph --all --color=always --abbrev-commit --decorate --date=relative --pretty=medium {{branchName}} --"

We already have a dedicated view to show the log of all branches; you can invoke it by pressing 1 a. If you don't like the options that it uses, modify git.allBranchesLogCmd to customize it. (I prefer --oneline myself.)

Thank you for the answers, this is already becoming a lot clearer! (And sorry for the long hiatus.)
