Mick's favorite log format:

git config --global alias.lol "log --follow --find-copies-harder --graph --abbrev=4 --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %Cgreen%ai %n %C(bold blue)%aN%Creset %B'"

Tero adds: "When you sign up for Deveo, there is one hidden App I mentioned, “mdoc”:  When you have a Git repository in Deveo, with Mdoc you can create Markdown formatted files and the Deveo Web Client will render the contents and outline. Be aware, this is an experimental app built in couple of days to get to know Deveo when I joined the team."
