man git-log (Commandes) - Show commit logs

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
