And when you do, git log has "--graph --oneline" to do just that.

I have an extended version in a bash function because I do do it often and it's much easier/faster than opening a separate tool.

Yeah: Most use-cases for me split into:

1. Choosing what to commit and committing it, fixups, autosquash

2. Conflict resolution and history investigation

It's very rare I've wanted a separate tool for the first, and the second calls for a GUI tool.
