4 Pretty-print the contents of the commit logs in a given format,
5 where '<format>' can be one of 'oneline', 'short', 'medium',
6 'full', 'fuller', 'reference', 'email', 'raw', 'format:<string>'
7 and 'tformat:<string>'. When '<format>' is none of the above,
8 and has '%placeholder' in it, it acts as if
9 '--pretty=tformat:<format>' were given.
11 See the "PRETTY FORMATS" section for some additional details for each
12 format. When '=<format>' part is omitted, it defaults to 'medium'.
14 Note: you can specify the default pretty format in the repository
15 configuration (see linkgit:git-config[1]).
18 Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object
19 name, show only a partial prefix. Non default number of
20 digits can be specified with "--abbrev=<n>" (which also modifies
21 diff output, if it is displayed).
23 This should make "--pretty=oneline" a whole lot more readable for
24 people using 80-column terminals.
27 Show the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object name. This negates
28 `--abbrev-commit` and those options which imply it such as
29 "--oneline". It also overrides the `log.abbrevCommit` variable.
32 This is a shorthand for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit"
35 --encoding=<encoding>::
36 The commit objects record the encoding used for the log message
37 in their encoding header; this option can be used to tell the
38 command to re-code the commit log message in the encoding
39 preferred by the user. For non plumbing commands this
40 defaults to UTF-8. Note that if an object claims to be encoded
41 in `X` and we are outputting in `X`, we will output the object
42 verbatim; this means that invalid sequences in the original
43 commit may be copied to the output.
48 Perform a tab expansion (replace each tab with enough spaces
49 to fill to the next display column that is multiple of '<n>')
50 in the log message before showing it in the output.
51 `--expand-tabs` is a short-hand for `--expand-tabs=8`, and
52 `--no-expand-tabs` is a short-hand for `--expand-tabs=0`,
53 which disables tab expansion.
55 By default, tabs are expanded in pretty formats that indent the log
56 message by 4 spaces (i.e. 'medium', which is the default, 'full',
59 ifndef::git-rev-list[]
61 Show the notes (see linkgit:git-notes[1]) that annotate the
62 commit, when showing the commit log message. This is the default
63 for `git log`, `git show` and `git whatchanged` commands when
64 there is no `--pretty`, `--format`, or `--oneline` option given
67 By default, the notes shown are from the notes refs listed in the
68 `core.notesRef` and `notes.displayRef` variables (or corresponding
69 environment overrides). See linkgit:git-config[1] for more details.
71 With an optional '<ref>' argument, use the ref to find the notes
72 to display. The ref can specify the full refname when it begins
73 with `refs/notes/`; when it begins with `notes/`, `refs/` and otherwise
74 `refs/notes/` is prefixed to form a full name of the ref.
76 Multiple --notes options can be combined to control which notes are
77 being displayed. Examples: "--notes=foo" will show only notes from
78 "refs/notes/foo"; "--notes=foo --notes" will show both notes from
79 "refs/notes/foo" and from the default notes ref(s).
82 Do not show notes. This negates the above `--notes` option, by
83 resetting the list of notes refs from which notes are shown.
84 Options are parsed in the order given on the command line, so e.g.
85 "--notes --notes=foo --no-notes --notes=bar" will only show notes
86 from "refs/notes/bar".
88 --show-notes[=<ref>]::
89 --[no-]standard-notes::
90 These options are deprecated. Use the above --notes/--no-notes
95 Check the validity of a signed commit object by passing the signature
96 to `gpg --verify` and show the output.
