The best tip I learned at Scott Chacon’s talk at linux.conf.au 2010, Git Wrangling - Advanced Tips and Tricks was this alias:
lol = log —graph —decorate —pretty=oneline —abbrev-commit
This provides a really nice graph of your tree, showing the branch structure of merges etc. Of course there are really nice GUI tools for showing such graphs, but the advantage of git lol is that it works on a console or over ssh, so it is useful for remote development, or native development on an embedded board.
