Abstract
We describe a simple way to write down explicit derivations of octonions that form a Chevalley basis of g2. This uses the description of octonions as a twisted group algebra of the finite field F8. Generators of Gal(F8/F2) act on the roots as 120-degree rotations and complex conjugation acts as negation.
