git difftool (programming.dev)

Which difftool do you use and why? I develop on Windows and I use KDiff3. It has worked flawlessly all these years. And just because of that I haven't really followed what else is out there. I suspect I'm in the minority?

Git - Git Aliases (git-scm.com)

My favorite is git h, which produces a nicely summarized log of commits on the current branch, with some highlighting and relative dates:

[alias]
    h = log --graph  --abbrev-commit --date=relative --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset'

What's your favorite Git alias?

Welcome to Git community (programming.dev)

Tools are critical for all professions. In programming, Git is central. Almost everything we do touches Git. We all need to master it at least to a level that it doesn't get in our way. But when you start getting hold of the basic concepts, it's also a powerful tool that is fun to work with. Hopefully this community will be a place to share our knowledge and help each other.
