DESCRIPTION
Shows the commit logs.
List commits that are reachable by following the parent links from the
given commit(s), but exclude commits that are reachable from the one(s)
given with a ^ in front of them. The output is given in reverse
chronological order by default.
You can think of this as a set operation. Commits reachable from any of the commits given on the command line form a set, and then commits reachable from any of the ones given with ^ in front are subtracted from that set. The remaining commits are what comes out in the command’s output. Various other options and paths parameters can be used to further limit the result.
Thus, the following command:
$ git log foo bar ^baz
means "list all the commits which are reachable from foo or bar, but not from baz".
A special notation "<commit1>..<commit2>" can be used as a
short-hand for "^<commit1> <commit2>". For example, either of
the following may be used interchangeably:
$ git log origin..HEAD $ git log HEAD ^origin
Another special notation is "<commit1>...<commit2>" which is useful
for merges. The resulting set of commits is the symmetric difference
between the two operands. The following two commands are equivalent:
$ git log A B --not $(git merge-base --all A B) $ git log A...B
The command takes options applicable to the git-rev-list[1] command to control what is shown and how, and options applicable to the git-diff[1] command to control how the changes each commit introduces are shown.
OPTIONS
--follow-
Continue listing the history of a file beyond renames (works only for a single file).
--no-decorate--decorate[=(short|full|auto|no)]-
Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown. Possible values are:
`short`;; the ref name prefixes `refs/heads/`, `refs/tags/` and `refs/remotes/` are not printed. `full`;; the full ref name (including prefix) is printed. `auto`:: if the output is going to a terminal, the ref names are shown as if `short` were given, otherwise no ref names are shown.
The option
--decorateis short-hand for--decorate=short. Default to configuration value oflog.decorateif configured, otherwise,auto. --decorate-refs=<pattern>--decorate-refs-exclude=<pattern>-
For each candidate reference, do not use it for decoration if it matches any of the <pattern> parameters given to
--decorate-refs-excludeor if it doesn’t match any of the <pattern> parameters given to--decorate-refs. Thelog.excludeDecorationconfig option allows excluding refs from the decorations, but an explicit--decorate-refspattern will override a match inlog.excludeDecoration.If none of these options or config settings are given, then references are used as decoration if they match
HEAD,refs/heads/,refs/remotes/,refs/stash/, orrefs/tags/. --clear-decorations-
When specified, this option clears all previous
--decorate-refsor--decorate-refs-excludeoptions and relaxes the default decoration filter to include all references. This option is assumed if the config valuelog.initialDecorationSetis set toall. --source-
Print out the ref name given on the command line by which each commit was reached.
--mailmap--no-mailmap--use-mailmap--no-use-mailmap-
Use mailmap file to map author and committer names and email addresses to canonical real names and email addresses. See git-shortlog[1].
