Nope, don't like it. The built-in git commit log is plain but space-efficient, displaying all you need in a small number of columns. If you want a commit graph you can get it just fine with git log --graph.

Short, this doesn't seem to to do anything you can't do with plain git already and what it does is not as good as what git does by default.

Edit: apologies to the project maintainer btw, but I really don't see the point.

I respect your opinion. I had a personal desire for a colourful log, and wanted better customization. Initially I set an alias and was good to go, but then I just sat for two hours and packaged it using setuptools.

For future versions I am planning one command change in the theme of git logs, and possibly setting up themes through config files.

The resulting library is a mere 5 KB in size and I got a hang of writing 'yolog' and getting the output :-)
