1 --pretty[='<format>']::
2 --format[='<format>']::
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', 'email', 'raw' and 'format:<string>'.
7 When omitted, the format defaults to 'medium'.

9 Note: you can specify the default pretty format in the repository
10 configuration (see linkgit:git-config[1]).
12 --abbrev-commit::
13 Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object
14 name, show only a partial prefix. Non default number of
15 digits can be specified with "--abbrev=<n>" (which also modifies
16 diff output, if it is displayed).

18 This should make "--pretty=oneline" a whole lot more readable for
19 people using 80-column terminals.
21 --oneline::
22 This is a shorthand for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit"
23 used together.
25 --encoding[=<encoding>]::
26 The commit objects record the encoding used for the log message
27 in their encoding header; this option can be used to tell the
28 command to re-code the commit log message in the encoding
29 preferred by the user. For non plumbing commands this
30 defaults to UTF-8.
