read some git log stuffs, summarized as

for clean output:

to tracing file / folder:

--follow [file], or if you have a specific start point [commit].. [file / folder]
show commit with files that are not in production branch yet: --name-status production..master
to trace by range of lines in a file, use -L, for example: '/function myname/',/^}/:some.js
to trace by searching a keyword: -S [function-name]

to add these to .gitconfig but re-use one common log command:

[alias]
  ls = log --pretty=format: '<format>'
  lm = !git ls --merges

also, format log output to be like commit [hash], so that it can be piped to tig for code navigation

and, I really hate those Merge branch ... into master commit messages

some read about cache:
