periodic reminder that `gitk` exists, and has come with git since... pretty much forever? If you're reading `git log`, you really owe it to yourself to run `gitk` at least once to see what you've been missing for over a decade now.
What gave you the impression that I haven't heard of gitk?
When someone mentions an approach, and someone else mentions a different approach, neither comment is "for one person only".
Well, I’ve heard of gitk too but gitk is not available by default on my default installation of macOS so there’s that.
I'm not sure why anyone would use default installations of any developer tooling on Mac? Was the first thing you did when you finished initial startup on your mac not "install homebrew, then install the most up to date versions of git, python, etc. etc."?
gitk is great if you love subway diagrams and want a built-in tool for it. There's so much power in `git log --first-parent` and recursing into drilldowns that current UIs, including gitk, are bad at expressing as a workflow.
