| --pretty[=<format>]:: |
| --format=<format>:: |
| |
| Pretty-print the contents of the commit logs in a given format, |
| where '<format>' can be one of 'oneline', 'short', 'medium', |
| 'full', 'fuller', 'reference', 'email', 'raw', 'format:<string>' |
| and 'tformat:<string>'. When '<format>' is none of the above, |
| and has '%placeholder' in it, it acts as if |
| '--pretty=tformat:<format>' were given. |
| + |
| See the "PRETTY FORMATS" section for some additional details for each |
| format. When '=<format>' part is omitted, it defaults to 'medium'. |
| + |
| Note: you can specify the default pretty format in the repository |
| configuration (see linkgit:git-config[1]). |
| |
| --abbrev-commit:: |
| Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object |
| name, show a prefix that names the object uniquely. |
| "--abbrev=<n>" (which also modifies diff output, if it is displayed) |
| option can be used to specify the minimum length of the prefix. |
| + |
| This should make "--pretty=oneline" a whole lot more readable for |
| people using 80-column terminals. |
| |
| --no-abbrev-commit:: |
| Show the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object name. This negates |
| `--abbrev-commit`, either explicit or implied by other options such |
| as "--oneline". It also overrides the `log.abbrevCommit` variable. |
| |
| --oneline:: |
| This is a shorthand for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit" |
| used together. |
| |
| --encoding=<encoding>:: |
| Commit objects record the character encoding used for the log message |
| in their encoding header; this option can be used to tell the |
| command to re-code the commit log message in the encoding |
| preferred by the user. For non plumbing commands this |
| defaults to UTF-8. Note that if an object claims to be encoded |
| in `X` and we are outputting in `X`, we will output the object |
| verbatim; this means that invalid sequences in the original |
| commit may be copied to the output. Likewise, if iconv(3) fails |
| to convert the commit, we will quietly output the original |
| object verbatim. |
| |
| --expand-tabs=<n>:: |
| --expand-tabs:: |
| --no-expand-tabs:: |
| Perform a tab expansion (replace each tab with enough spaces |
| to fill to the next display column that is multiple of '<n>') |
| in the log message before showing it in the output. |
| `--expand-tabs` is a short-hand for `--expand-tabs=8`, and |
| `--no-expand-tabs` is a short-hand for `--expand-tabs=0`, |
| which disables tab expansion. |
| + |
| By default, tabs are expanded in pretty formats that indent the log |
| message by 4 spaces (i.e. 'medium', which is the default, 'full', |
| and 'fuller'). |
| |
| ifndef::git-rev-list[] |
| --notes[=<ref>]:: |
| Show the notes (see linkgit:git-notes[1]) that annotate the |
| commit, when showing the commit log message. This is the default |
| for `git log`, `git show` and `git whatchanged` commands when |
| there is no `--pretty`, `--format`, or `--oneline` option given |
| on the command line. |
| + |
| By default, the notes shown are from the notes refs listed in the |
| `core.notesRef` and `notes.displayRef` variables (or corresponding |
| environment overrides). See linkgit:git-config[1] for more details. |
| + |
| With an optional '<ref>' argument, use the ref to find the notes |
| to display. The ref can specify the full refname when it begins |
| with `refs/notes/`; when it begins with `notes/`, `refs/` and otherwise |
| `refs/notes/` is prefixed to form a full name of the ref. |
| + |
| Multiple --notes options can be combined to control which notes are |
| being displayed. Examples: "--notes=foo" will show only notes from |
| "refs/notes/foo"; "--notes=foo --notes" will show both notes from |
| "refs/notes/foo" and from the default notes ref(s). |
| |
| --no-notes:: |
| Do not show notes. This negates the above `--notes` option, by |
| resetting the list of notes refs from which notes are shown. |
| Options are parsed in the order given on the command line, so e.g. |
| "--notes --notes=foo --no-notes --notes=bar" will only show notes |
| from "refs/notes/bar". |
| |
| --show-notes[=<ref>]:: |
| --[no-]standard-notes:: |
| These options are deprecated. Use the above --notes/--no-notes |
| options instead. |
| endif::git-rev-list[] |
| |
| --show-signature:: |
| Check the validity of a signed commit object by passing the signature |
| to `gpg --verify` and show the output. |
