9 SYNOPSIS
10 --------
11 'git-log' <option>...
13 DESCRIPTION
14 -----------
15 Shows the commit logs.
17 The command takes options applicable to the gitlink:git-rev-list[1]
18 command to control what is shown and how, and options applicable to
19 the gitlink:git-diff-tree[1] commands to control how the change
20 each commit introduces are shown.
22 This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.
25 OPTIONS
26 -------
28 include::pretty-formats.txt[]
30 -<n>::
31 Limits the number of commits to show.
33 <since>..<until>::
34 Show only commits between the named two commits. When
35 either <since> or <until> is omitted, it defaults to
36 `HEAD`, i.e. the tip of the current branch.
38 -p::
39 Show the change the commit introduces in a patch form.
41 <paths>...::
42 Show only commits that affect the specified paths.
45 Examples
46 --------
47 git log --no-merges::
49 Show the whole commit history, but skip any merges
51 git log v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi::
53 Show all commits since version 'v2.6.12' that changed any file
54 in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories
56 git log --since="2 weeks ago" \-- gitk::
58 Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file 'gitk'.
59 The "--" is necessary to avoid confusion with the *branch* named
60 'gitk'
62 git log -r --name-status release..test::
64 Show the commits that are in the "test" branch but not yet
65 in the "release" branch, along with the list of paths
