List all aliases

To list all aliases use

$ git config --get-regexp alias

alias.lg2 log --graph --abbrev-commit --decorate --format=format:'%C(bold blue)%h%C(reset) - %C(bold cyan)%aD%C(reset) %C(bold green)(%ar)%C(reset)%C(bold yellow)%d%C(reset)%n''          %C(white)%s%C(reset) %C(dim white)- %an%C(reset)' - all
alias.lg log --all --graph --pretty --oneline --stat
