Answer

To do this, I will go to the command line and enter:

git config --global alias.nx  "log --name-only --oneline"

The double quotes are needed because you are using two flags on log.

The result of calling this command is shown in Figure 8.2:

Notice that each commit is there, represented on a single line and with only the SHA and message (except when there is a tag or pointers, as shown on line 1 and line 7 in Figure 8.2).
