   8SYNOPSIS
   9--------
  10[verse]
  11git log --pretty=short | 'git shortlog' [-h] [-n] [-s] [-e] [-w]
  12'git shortlog' [-n|--numbered] [-s|--summary] [-e|--email] [-w[<width>[,<indent1>[,<indent2>]]]] <commit>...
  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.

  26OPTIONS
  27-------
  28
  29-h::
  30--help::
  31        Print a short usage message and exit.
  32
  33-n::
  34--numbered::
  35        Sort output according to the number of commits per author instead
  36        of author alphabetic order.
  37
  38-s::
  39--summary::
  40        Suppress commit description and provide a commit count summary only.
  41
  42-e::
  43--email::
  44        Show the email address of each author.
  45
  46--format[=<format>]::
  47        Instead of the commit subject, use some other information to
  48        describe each commit.  '<format>' can be any string accepted
  49        by the `--format` option of 'git log', such as '* [%h] %s'.
  50        (See the "PRETTY FORMATS" section of linkgit:git-log[1].)
  51
  52        Each pretty-printed commit will be rewrapped before it is shown.
  53
  54-w[<width>[,<indent1>[,<indent2>]]]::
  55        Linewrap the output by wrapping each line at `width`.  The first
  56        line of each entry is indented by `indent1` spaces, and the second
  57        and subsequent lines are indented by `indent2` spaces. `width`,
  58        `indent1`, and `indent2` default to 76, 6 and 9 respectively.

  64The `.mailmap` feature is used to coalesce together commits by the same
  65person in the shortlog, where their name and/or email address was
  66spelled differently.
