Beautify your git logs !

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

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 build


Usage
-----

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

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

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`` | Display recent ``n`` commits. |
+-----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| ``yolog --skip=n`` | Skip recent ``n`` commits and display further. |
+-----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| ``yolog --author=karan`` | 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`` | |
+-----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| ``yolog --after=dd/mmm/yyyy`` | Display commits after this date. |
+-----------------------------------+ |
| ``yolog --since=dd-mmm-yyyy`` | |
+-----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+
| ``yolog --grep="foo\ bar"`` | Display commits with "foo bar" in their description. |
+-----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------+

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