git config --global alias.lola "log --graph --decorate --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit --all"

Something like this might do what you want. You can of course change the color, remove the date (%ad), or change the date format (--date) to match what you want. The format specifiers are documented at https://git-scm.com/docs/git-log#_pretty_formats.

git log --graph --pretty='format:%C(auto)%h %d %s %C(green)%an%C(bold blue) %ad' --all --date=relative

The %an format specifier is for the author name (%cn would be the committer name).

So, this could be a good option:

git config --global alias.lola "log --graph --decorate --pretty='format:%C(auto)%h %d %s %C(green)%an%C(bold blue) %ad' --abbrev-commit --all --date=relative"

It works very well for me.

Yep. I've since tweaked my to:

git config --global alias.lola "log --graph --pretty='format:%C(auto)%h %d %s %C(green)(%ad) %C(bold blue)<%an>' --abbrev-commit --all --date=relative"

and this one, excluding the --all

git config --global alias.lol "log --graph --pretty='format:%C(auto)%h %d %s %C(green)(%ad) %C(bold blue)<%an>' --abbrev-commit --date=relative"

So good.
