<div class="paragraph"><p>Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces.  The

<em>git diff-tree</em>, and takes command line options for both of
these commands.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.</p></div>

<p>
        Show textual diffs, instead of the Git internal diff
        output format that is useful only to tell the changed
        paths and their nature of changes.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
-&lt;n&gt;
</dt>
<dd>
<p>

</p>
</dd>

&lt;since&gt;..&lt;until&gt;
</dt>

<p>
        Limit output to between the two named commits (bottom

</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Show Git internal diff output, but for the whole tree,
        not just the top level.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
-m
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        By default, differences for merge commits are not shown.
        With this flag, show differences to that commit from all
        of its parents.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>However, it is not very useful in general, although it
<strong>is</strong> useful on a file-by-file basis.</p></div>

<dt class="hdlist1">
--format=&lt;format&gt;
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Pretty-print the contents of the commit logs in a given format,
        where <em>&lt;format&gt;</em> can be one of <em>oneline</em>, <em>short</em>, <em>medium</em>,
        <em>full</em>, <em>fuller</em>, <em>email</em>, <em>raw</em> and <em>format:&lt;string&gt;</em>.  See
        the "PRETTY FORMATS" section for some additional details for each
        format.  When omitted, the format defaults to <em>medium</em>.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Note: you can specify the default pretty format in the repository
configuration (see <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a>).</p></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--abbrev-commit
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object
        name, show only a partial prefix.  Non default number of
        digits can be specified with "--abbrev=&lt;n&gt;" (which also modifies
        diff output, if it is displayed).
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This should make "--pretty=oneline" a whole lot more readable for
people using 80-column terminals.</p></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--no-abbrev-commit
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Show the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object name. This negates
        <code>--abbrev-commit</code> and those options which imply it such as
        "--oneline". It also overrides the <em>log.abbrevCommit</em> variable.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--oneline
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        This is a shorthand for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit"
        used together.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--encoding[=&lt;encoding&gt;]
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        The commit objects record the 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.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--notes[=&lt;ref&gt;]
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Show the notes (see <a href="git-notes.html">git-notes(1)</a>) that annotate the
        commit, when showing the commit log message.  This is the default
        for <code>git log</code>, <code>git show</code> and <code>git whatchanged</code> commands when
        there is no <code>--pretty</code>, <code>--format</code> nor <code>--oneline</code> option given
        on the command line.
</p>

<div class="paragraph"><p>If the commit is a merge, and if the pretty-format

separated by spaces.  Note that the listed commits may not
necessarily be the list of the <strong>direct</strong> parent commits if you
have limited your view of history: for example, if you are
only interested in changes related to a certain directory or
file.</p></div>

additional formats by setting a pretty.&lt;name&gt;

provides "terminator" semantics instead of "separator" semantics. In
other words, each commit has the message terminator character (usually a
newline) appended, rather than a separator placed between entries.
This means that the final entry of a single-line format will be properly
terminated with a new line, just as the "oneline" format does.
For example:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>$ git log -2 --pretty=format:%h 4da45bef \

$ git log -2 --pretty=tformat:%h 4da45bef \

4da45be
7134973</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>In addition, any unrecognized string that has a <code>%</code> in it is interpreted
as if it has <code>tformat:</code> in front of it.  For example, these two are
equivalent:</p></div>

<pre><code>$ git log -2 --pretty=tformat:%h 4da45bef
