Falls into a weird niche for me - if I'm in a situation where text-only history is not good enough, I'll just use something graphical, rather than some crazy image-in-terminal solution.

Mostly in git I use an alias I wrote/stole ages ago which displays linear history compactly.

It is a handful, but git log --graph --decorate --all --full-index --color=always | less -R is what I use and I think it's great. Especially after I found the vim mode in my terminal emulator alacritty, and copying the commit hashes got really easy
