默认配置命令git log会在新的窗口打印日志内容，需要敲一下键盘q 才能返回当前目录，不方便连续查看:

 1

12

➜  lgthw_orign git:(otherbranch) git log --oneline --decorate --all --graph

## NOTE content below will be displayed on new window/buff
* 40303b7 (HEAD -> otherbranch) thirdcommit
| * 3e6e2f7 (master) secondcommit
|/
* f40475e (tag: firstcommittag) firstcommit
(END)
## press `q` to exist

➜  lgthw_orign git:(master) git log --no-pager                        
fatal: unrecognized argument: --no-pager

可以把默认的分页改为inline模式，可以更快的查看连续的日志：

# use --no-pager options
# or set pager to cat
git config --global core.pager cat
# or set pager to less
# git config --global core.pager "less -erX"

Changing the Display of Git Log

FYI, cat is not the ideal pager for me, since it displays the full git log from the beginning if I don’t append a -1 in the end of the command. more was not a good candidate either, since colors was not well displayed in the console with more I preferred to keep less as the pager, but display content in the console. So for me : git config –global core.pager “less -erX” (important option here is the -X option)
