Hi forks,
People including me are asking feature to use different format for log and show:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37898232/make-different-pretty-settings-for-git-log-and-git-show
Can we consider add such option to git-config
[format]
mylogformat = <...>
myshowformat = <...>
[log]
format = mylogformat
[show]
format = myshowformat
Which should work same as
git log --format=mylogformat
git show --format=myshowformat

I don't think there is any reason not to add something like that. As you
note, we already allow overriding the default for all of the log-family
commands. So doing it for individual ones is not a stretch.
(I'm not sure if you know, the first half of your suggestion is already
available as pretty.*, so this would just be adding log.format, etc, to
override format.pretty. Possibly your "format' is just a typo of
"pretty" there).

We do not pay attention to SO, and it is good you came here.

> format = myshowformat
I think something along this line was raised as a possible
enhancement on the list earlier. If we were to do so, we should not
limit the enhancement only to "log/show" but to all the commands in
the "log" family, and similarly, not only to "format", but to many
common options.
Patches welcome.
Thanks.
