Documentation / pretty-options.txton commit replace: add a --raw mode for --edit (2deda62)
   1--pretty[=<format>]::
   2--format=<format>::
   3
   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>'.  See
   7        the "PRETTY FORMATS" section for some additional details for each
   8        format.  When omitted, the format defaults to 'medium'.

  10Note: you can specify the default pretty format in the repository
  11configuration (see linkgit:git-config[1]).
  12
  13--abbrev-commit::
  14        Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object
  15        name, show only a partial prefix.  Non default number of
  16        digits can be specified with "--abbrev=<n>" (which also modifies
  17        diff output, if it is displayed).
  18+
  19This should make "--pretty=oneline" a whole lot more readable for
  20people using 80-column terminals.
  21
  22--no-abbrev-commit::
  23        Show the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object name. This negates
  24        `--abbrev-commit` and those options which imply it such as
  25        "--oneline". It also overrides the 'log.abbrevCommit' variable.
  26
  27--oneline::
  28        This is a shorthand for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit"
  29        used together.
  30
  31--encoding=<encoding>::
  32        The commit objects record the encoding used for the log message
  33        in their encoding header; this option can be used to tell the
  34        command to re-code the commit log message in the encoding
  35        preferred by the user.  For non plumbing commands this
  36        defaults to UTF-8.
  37
  38--notes[=<ref>]::
  39        Show the notes (see linkgit:git-notes[1]) that annotate the
  40        commit, when showing the commit log message.  This is the default
  41        for `git log`, `git show` and `git whatchanged` commands when
  42        there is no `--pretty`, `--format`, or `--oneline` option given
  43        on the command line.
  44+
  45By default, the notes shown are from the notes refs listed in the
  46'core.notesRef' and 'notes.displayRef' variables (or corresponding
  47environment overrides). See linkgit:git-config[1] for more details.
  48+
  49With an optional '<ref>' argument, show this notes ref instead of the
  50default notes ref(s). The ref is taken to be in `refs/notes/` if it
  51is not qualified.
  52+
  53Multiple --notes options can be combined to control which notes are
  54being displayed. Examples: "--notes=foo" will show only notes from
  55"refs/notes/foo"; "--notes=foo --notes" will show both notes from
  56"refs/notes/foo" and from the default notes ref(s).
  57
  58--no-notes::
  59        Do not show notes. This negates the above `--notes` option, by
  60        resetting the list of notes refs from which notes are shown.
  61        Options are parsed in the order given on the command line, so e.g.
  62        "--notes --notes=foo --no-notes --notes=bar" will only show notes
  63        from "refs/notes/bar".
  64
  65--show-notes[=<ref>]::
  66--[no-]standard-notes::
  67        These options are deprecated. Use the above --notes/--no-notes
  68        options instead.
  69
  70--show-signature::
  71        Check the validity of a signed commit object by passing the signature
  72        to `gpg --verify` and show the output.
