How to make 'git log' decorate by default
git, git-log
Solution
`git config log.decorate auto`
For a global setting, add the ` --global` parameter.
So it would be:
git config --global log.decorate auto
The aliases are made with `git config alias.lg "log --decorate"`
Problem
I frequently type `git log` when what I actually want is `git log --decorate`. How do I make it decorate by default? I have seen lots of answers of the form "make an alias lg and then type `git lg` instead of git log". But, I can't find anywhere how to change the default behaviour of `git log` itself. `alias log` does not work.
