NAME

----
|
|
git-log - Show commit logs
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-log' <option>...
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Shows the commit logs.
|
|
|
|
The command takes options applicable to the gitlink:git-rev-list[1]
|
|
command to control what is shown and how, and options applicable to
|
|
the gitlink:git-diff-tree[1] commands to control how the changes
|
|
each commit introduces are shown.
|
|
|
|
This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.

OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
include::pretty-options.txt[]
|
|
|
|
:git-log: 1
|
|
include::diff-options.txt[]
|
|
|
|
-<n>::
|
|
Limits the number of commits to show.
|
|
|
|
<since>..<until>::
|
|
Show only commits between the named two commits. When
|
|
either <since> or <until> is omitted, it defaults to
|
|
`HEAD`, i.e. the tip of the current branch.
|
|
For a more complete list of ways to spell <since>
|
|
and <until>, see "SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in
|
|
gitlink:git-rev-parse[1].
|
|
|
|
--first-parent::
|
|
Follow only the first parent commit upon seeing a merge
|
|
commit. This option can give a better overview when
|
|
viewing the evolution of a particular topic branch,
|
|
because merges into a topic branch tend to be only about
|
|
adjusting to updated upstream from time to time, and
|
|
this option allows you to ignore the individual commits
|
|
brought in to your history by such a merge.
|
|
|
|
-g, \--walk-reflogs::
|
|
Show commits as they were recorded in the reflog. The log contains
|
|
a record about how the tip of a reference was changed.
|
|
Cannot be combined with --reverse.
|
|
See also gitlink:git-reflog[1].
|
|
|
|
--decorate::
|
|
Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown.
|
|
|
|
--full-diff::
|
|
Without this flag, "git log -p <paths>..." shows commits that
|
|
touch the specified paths, and diffs about the same specified
|
|
paths. With this, the full diff is shown for commits that touch
|
|
the specified paths; this means that "<paths>..." limits only
|
|
commits, and doesn't limit diff for those commits.
|
|
|
|
--follow::
|
|
Continue listing the history of a file beyond renames.
|
|
|
|
--log-size::
|
|
Before the log message print out its size in bytes. Intended
|
|
mainly for porcelain tools consumption. If git is unable to
|
|
produce a valid value size is set to zero.
|
|
Note that only message is considered, if also a diff is shown
|
|
its size is not included.
|
|
|
|
<paths>...::
|
|
Show only commits that affect the specified paths.

Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
git log --no-merges::
|
|
|
|
Show the whole commit history, but skip any merges
|
|
|
|
git log v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi::
|
|
|
|
Show all commits since version 'v2.6.12' that changed any file
|
|
in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories
|
|
|
|
git log --since="2 weeks ago" \-- gitk::
|
|
|
|
Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file 'gitk'.
|
|
The "--" is necessary to avoid confusion with the *branch* named
|
|
'gitk'
|
|
|
|
git log --name-status release..test::
|
|
|
|
Show the commits that are in the "test" branch but not yet
|
|
in the "release" branch, along with the list of paths
|
|
each commit modifies.
|
|
|
|
git log --follow builtin-rev-list.c::
|
|
|
|
Shows the commits that changed builtin-rev-list.c, including
|
|
those commits that occurred before the file was given its
|
|
present name.
