1PRETTY FORMATS 2-------------- 3 4If the commit is a merge, and if the pretty-format 5is not 'oneline', 'email' or 'raw', an additional line is 6inserted before the 'Author:' line. This line begins with 7"Merge: " and the sha1s of ancestral commits are printed, 8separated by spaces. Note that the listed commits may not 9necessarily be the list of the *direct* parent commits if you 10have limited your view of history: for example, if you are 11only interested in changes related to a certain directory or 12file. 13 14Here are some additional details for each format: 15 16* 'oneline' 17 18 <sha1> <title line> 19+ 20This is designed to be as compact as possible. 21 22* 'short' 23 24 commit <sha1> 25 Author: <author> 26 27 <title line> 28 29* 'medium' 30 31 commit <sha1> 32 Author: <author> 33 Date: <date> 34 35 <title line> 36 37 <full commit message> 38 39* 'full' 40 41 commit <sha1> 42 Author: <author> 43 Commit: <committer> 44 45 <title line> 46 47 <full commit message> 48 49* 'fuller' 50 51 commit <sha1> 52 Author: <author> 53 AuthorDate: <date & time> 54 Commit: <committer> 55 CommitDate: <date & time> 56 57 <title line> 58 59 <full commit message> 60 61* 'email' 62 63 From <sha1> <date> 64 From: <author> 65 Date: <date & time> 66 Subject: [PATCH] <title line> 67 68 <full commit message> 69 70* 'raw' 71+ 72The 'raw' format shows the entire commit exactly as 73stored in the commit object. Notably, the SHA1s are 74displayed in full, regardless of whether --abbrev or 75--no-abbrev are used, and 'parents' information show the 76true parent commits, without taking grafts nor history 77simplification into account. 78 79* 'format:' 80+ 81The 'format:' format allows you to specify which information 82you want to show. It works a little bit like printf format, 83with the notable exception that you get a newline with '%n' 84instead of '\n'. 85+ 86E.g, 'format:"The author of %h was %an, %ar%nThe title was >>%s<<%n"' 87would show something like this: 88+ 89------- 90The author of fe6e0ee was Junio C Hamano, 23 hours ago 91The title was >>t4119: test autocomputing -p<n> for traditional diff input.<< 92 93-------- 94+ 95The placeholders are: 96 97- '%H': commit hash 98- '%h': abbreviated commit hash 99- '%T': tree hash 100- '%t': abbreviated tree hash 101- '%P': parent hashes 102- '%p': abbreviated parent hashes 103- '%an': author name 104- '%ae': author email 105- '%ad': author date 106- '%aD': author date, RFC2822 style 107- '%ar': author date, relative 108- '%at': author date, UNIX timestamp 109- '%cn': committer name 110- '%ce': committer email 111- '%cd': committer date 112- '%cD': committer date, RFC2822 style 113- '%cr': committer date, relative 114- '%ct': committer date, UNIX timestamp 115- '%e': encoding 116- '%s': subject 117- '%b': body 118- '%Cred': switch color to red 119- '%Cgreen': switch color to green 120- '%Cblue': switch color to blue 121- '%Creset': reset color 122- '%m': left, right or boundary mark 123- '%n': newline
