There is a very good answer to the same question.
Adding following lines to "~/.gitconfig":

[alias]
lg1 = log --graph --abbrev-commit --decorate --date=relative --format=format:'%C(bold blue)%h%C(reset) - %C(bold green)(%ar)%C(reset) %C(white)%s%C(reset) %C(dim white)- %an%C(reset)%C(bold yellow)%d%C(reset)' --all
lg2 = log --graph --abbrev-commit --decorate --format=format:'%C(bold blue)%h%C(reset) - %C(bold cyan)%aD%C(reset) %C(bold green)(%ar)%C(reset)%C(bold yellow)%d%C(reset)%n''          %C(white)%s%C(reset) %C(dim white)- %an%C(reset)' --all
lg = !"git lg1"

if you happen to not have a graphical interface available you can also print out the commit graph on the command line   git log --oneline --graph --decorate --all   if this command complains with an invalid option --oneline  use   git log --pretty oneline --graph --decorate --all

You can try the following   gitk --all   You can tell gitk what to display using anything that git rev-list understands  so if you just want a few branches  you can do   gitk master origin master origin experiment       or more exotic things like   gitk --simplify-by-decoration --all

When I m in my work place with terminal only  I use   git log --oneline --graph --color --all --decorate   When the OS support GUI  I use   gitk --all   When I m in my home Windows PC  I use my own GitVersionTree

If you don t need branch or tag name  git log --oneline --graph --all --no-decorate If you don t even need color  to avoid tty color sequence   git log --oneline --graph --all --no-decorate --no-color And a handy alias  in  gitconfig  to make life easier   alias    tree   log --oneline --graph --all --no-decorate  Only last option takes effect  so it s even possible to override your alias  git tree --decorate
