Problem

If you're more of a visual person, you can view a graph of all commits and branches in the repository using a single Git command.
Running git log --pretty=oneline --graph --decorate --all prints a visual graph of the whole repository's history. This command displays a visual representation of all commits and branches in the repository. You can then use the arrow keys to navigate, or press <kbd>Q</kbd> to exit.

Solution

# Syntax: git log --pretty=oneline --graph --decorate --all

git log --pretty=oneline --graph --decorate --all
# * 3050fc0de Fix network bug
# * c191f90c7 Initial commit
