git-log(1)
==========
NAME
----
git-log - Show commit logs
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-log' <option>...
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Shows the commit logs. This command internally invokes
'git-rev-list', and the command line options are passed to that
command.
This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.
OPTIONS
-------
--pretty=<format>::
Controls the way the commit log is formatted.
--max-count=<n>::
Limits the number of commits to show.
<since>..<until>::
Show only commits between the named two commits.
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'
