title: Git how to save a preset git log --format
body: <p>I really like the short git log format where I can see author, date and change description like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git log --pretty=format:"%h%x09%an%x09%ad%x09%s"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which outputs:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  fbc3503 mads    Thu Dec 4 07:43:27 2008 +0000   show mobile if phone is null...

  <p>Now, the question is, how do I save this as a new format on my machine so I only have to write something like, for instance:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git log --format=jespers_favourite
  </code></pre>
