Beautify your git logs !

Here is how default git logs look like:

Yolog wraps over standard git log and represents commit message history in a compact manner. It provides a
visualization of commit graph, and shows refs, tags and unmerged branches altogether. A yolog powered git log looks
like this:

Installation
------------
Obtain stable release from PyPI
::
pip install yolog

Alternatively, to obtain the bleeding edge version, clone the repo and build it from source:
::
git clone https://www.github.com/karandesai-96/yolog
cd yolog && python setup.py install


Usage
-----

* To view yolog powered git log, simply execute ``yolog`` in terminal.

* For brief instructions, execute ``yolog -h`` or ``yolog --help`` in terminal.

* For changing color of any attribute, execute command of format ``yolog config attribute COLOR``.

- Alternatively, ``-c`` or ``--config`` work as well.
- ``attribute`` can be one of: ``author, date, description, hash, refs``
- ``COLOR`` can be one of: ``RED, GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE, CYAN, PURPLE, BLACK, WHITE``
- Arguments ``attribute`` and ``COLOR`` are case insensitive.

* It also accepts arguments which are used to filter output. These arguments are same as those accepted by standard
git log.

Here are the most common used ones:

+-------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Command Example | Description |
+=====================================+=========================================================+
| ``yolog -n N`` | Display recent ``N`` commits. |
+-------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| ``yolog --skip N`` | Skip recent ``N`` commits and display further. |
+-------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| ``yolog --author "john\ doe"`` | Filter commits according to author. |
| | Part of name / whole will be accepted. |
+-------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| ``yolog --before dd-mmm-yyyy`` | Display commits before this date. |
| | |
| ``yolog --until dd/mmm/yyyy`` | Hyphen (-) or slash (/) can be used interchangeably. |
+-------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| ``yolog --after dd/mmm/yyyy`` | Display commits after this date. |
| | |
| ``yolog --since dd-mmm-yyyy`` | Hyphen (-) or slash (/) can be used interchangeably. |
+-------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| ``yolog --grep "foo\ bar"`` | Display commits with "foo bar" in their description. |
+-------------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+

* Any of these can be combined together and used.
* ``=`` can be optionally used in args as: ``yolog --skip=10``
* Regular expressions are also accepted in ``grep`` and ``author``.
* Use inverted commas and escape character if using whitespace: ``yolog --grep "fixes\ bug"``
