NAME

|
----
|
|
git-log - Show commit logs
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git log' [<options>] [<since>..<until>] [[\--] <path>...]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Shows the commit logs.
|
|
|
|
The command takes options applicable to the 'git rev-list'
|
|
command to control what is shown and how, and options applicable to
|
|
the 'git diff-*' commands to control how the changes
|
|
each commit introduces are shown.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
-<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 linkgit:gitrevisions[1].
|
|
|
|
--follow::
|
|
Continue listing the history of a file beyond renames
|
|
(works only for a single file).
|
|
|
|
--no-decorate::
|
|
--decorate[=short|full|no]::
|
|
Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown. If 'short' is
|
|
specified, the ref name prefixes 'refs/heads/', 'refs/tags/' and
|
|
'refs/remotes/' will not be printed. If 'full' is specified, the
|
|
full ref name (including prefix) will be printed. The default option
|
|
is 'short'.
|
|
|
|
--source::
|
|
Print out the ref name given on the command line by which each
|
|
commit was reached.
|
|
|
|
--full-diff::
|
|
Without this flag, "git log -p <path>..." 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 "<path>..." limits only
|
|
commits, and doesn't limit diff for those commits.
|
|
|
|
--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.
|
|
|
|
[\--] <path>...::
|
|
Show only commits that affect any of the specified paths. To
|
|
prevent confusion with options and branch names, paths may need
|
|
to be prefixed with "\-- " to separate them from options or
|
|
refnames.

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.
|
|
|
|
git log --branches --not --remotes=origin::
|
|
|
|
Shows all commits that are in any of local branches but not in
|
|
any of remote tracking branches for 'origin' (what you have that
|
|
origin doesn't).
|
|
|
|
git log master --not --remotes=*/master::
|
|
|
|
Shows all commits that are in local master but not in any remote
|
|
repository master branches.
|
|
|
|
git log -p -m --first-parent::
|
|
|
|
Shows the history including change diffs, but only from the
|
|
"main branch" perspective, skipping commits that come from merged
|
|
branches, and showing full diffs of changes introduced by the merges.
|
|
This makes sense only when following a strict policy of merging all
|
|
topic branches when staying on a single integration branch.

Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
See linkgit:git-config[1] for core variables and linkgit:git-diff[1]
|
|
for settings related to diff generation.
|
|
|
|
format.pretty::
|
|
Default for the `--format` option. (See "PRETTY FORMATS" above.)
|
|
Defaults to "medium".
|
|
|
|
i18n.logOutputEncoding::
|
|
Encoding to use when displaying logs. (See "Discussion", above.)
|
|
Defaults to the value of `i18n.commitEncoding` if set, UTF-8
|
|
otherwise.
|
|
|
|
log.date::
|
|
Default format for human-readable dates. (Compare the
|
|
`--date` option.) Defaults to "default", which means to write
|
|
dates like `Sat May 8 19:35:34 2010 -0500`.
|
|
|
|
log.showroot::
|
|
If `false`, 'git log' and related commands will not treat the
|
|
initial commit as a big creation event. Any root commits in
|
|
`git log -p` output would be shown without a diff attached.
|
|
The default is `true`.
|
|
|
|
mailmap.file::
|
|
See linkgit:git-shortlog[1].
|
|
|
|
notes.displayRef::
|
|
Which refs, in addition to the default set by `core.notesRef`
|
|
or 'GIT_NOTES_REF', to read notes from when showing commit
|
|
messages with the 'log' family of commands. See
|
|
linkgit:git-notes[1].
|
|
+
|
|
May be an unabbreviated ref name or a glob and may be specified
|
|
multiple times. A warning will be issued for refs that do not exist,
|
|
but a glob that does not match any refs is silently ignored.
|
|
+
|
|
This setting can be disabled by the `--no-standard-notes` option,
|
|
overridden by the 'GIT_NOTES_DISPLAY_REF' environment variable,
|
|
and supplemented by the `--show-notes` option.
