   6git-shortlog - Summarize 'git log' output
   7
   8SYNOPSIS
   9--------
  10[verse]
  11git log --pretty=short | 'git shortlog' [<options>]
  12'git shortlog' [<options>] [<revision range>] [[\--] <path>...]
  13
  14DESCRIPTION
  15-----------
  16Summarizes 'git log' output in a format suitable for inclusion
  17in release announcements. Each commit will be grouped by author and title.
  18
  19Additionally, "[PATCH]" will be stripped from the commit description.
  20
  21If no revisions are passed on the command line and either standard input
  22is not a terminal or there is no current branch, 'git shortlog' will
  23output a summary of the log read from standard input, without
  24reference to the current repository.
  25
  26OPTIONS
  27-------
  28
  29-n::
  30--numbered::
  31        Sort output according to the number of commits per author instead
  32        of author alphabetic order.
  33
  34-s::
  35--summary::
  36        Suppress commit description and provide a commit count summary only.
  37
  38-e::
  39--email::
  40        Show the email address of each author.
  41
  42--format[=<format>]::
  43        Instead of the commit subject, use some other information to
  44        describe each commit.  '<format>' can be any string accepted
  45        by the `--format` option of 'git log', such as '* [%h] %s'.
  46        (See the "PRETTY FORMATS" section of linkgit:git-log[1].)
  47
  48        Each pretty-printed commit will be rewrapped before it is shown.
  49
  50-w[<width>[,<indent1>[,<indent2>]]]::
  51        Linewrap the output by wrapping each line at `width`.  The first
  52        line of each entry is indented by `indent1` spaces, and the second
  53        and subsequent lines are indented by `indent2` spaces. `width`,
  54        `indent1`, and `indent2` default to 76, 6 and 9 respectively.
  55+
  56If width is `0` (zero) then indent the lines of the output without wrapping
  57them.
  58
  59<revision range>::
  60        Show only commits in the specified revision range.  When no
  61        <revision range> is specified, it defaults to `HEAD` (i.e. the
  62        whole history leading to the current commit).  `origin..HEAD`
  63        specifies all the commits reachable from the current commit
  64        (i.e. `HEAD`), but not from `origin`. For a complete list of
  65        ways to spell <revision range>, see the "Specifying Ranges"
  66        section of linkgit:gitrevisions[7].
  67
  68[\--] <path>...::
  69        Consider only commits that are enough to explain how the files
  70        that match the specified paths came to be.
  71+
  72Paths may need to be prefixed with "\-- " to separate them from
  73options or the revision range, when confusion arises.
  74
  75MAPPING AUTHORS
  76---------------
  77
  78The `.mailmap` feature is used to coalesce together commits by the same
  79person in the shortlog, where their name and/or email address was
  80spelled differently.
