Create an option for git sl to allow reverse ordering of commit history

[macintacos]

I'm trying to use git sl in lazygit to display commits for a given branch in the main view to the right, but because git sl seems to assume you are running this in a terminal session, the most recent commits appear all the way at the bottom of the list, instead of in reverse order (starting with the most recent commit at the top).

Any chance there could be an option introduced on git sl that would allow me to generate the smartlog in reverse order?

There is currently no way to do this. I'm happy to accept a PR implementing this.

You might want to check https://github.com/martinvonz/jj, which implements a graph log in both directions, or even the underlying library from Sapling which it uses for the curved style: martinvonz/jj#1051

How are you integrating with lazygit?

I just provide git sl for the branchLogCmd in my lazygit configuration here: https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/blob/16802a048e0425182f08cf0e9a2bc31480e9a55d/docs/Config.md?plain=1#L91

Works pretty well, although there's a bug that I was going to file soon - I tend to get fatal errors whenever I switch through branches too quickly 😬

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check those other tools out!

There's now a --reverse flag that you can pass to git-smartlog
