1git-shortlog(1) 2=============== 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-shortlog - Summarize 'git-log' output 7 8SYNOPSIS 9-------- 10[verse] 11git log --pretty=short | 'git shortlog' [-h] [-n] [-s] [-e] [-w] 12git shortlog [-n|--numbered] [-s|--summary] [-e|--email] [-w[<width>[,<indent1>[,<indent2>]]]] [<committish>...] 13 14DESCRIPTION 15----------- 16Summarizes 'git-log' output in a format suitable for inclusion 17in release announcements. Each commit will be grouped by author and 18the first line of the commit message will be shown. 19 20Additionally, "[PATCH]" will be stripped from the commit description. 21 22OPTIONS 23------- 24 25-h:: 26--help:: 27 Print a short usage message and exit. 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-w[<width>[,<indent1>[,<indent2>]]]:: 43 Linewrap the output by wrapping each line at `width`. The first 44 line of each entry is indented by `indent1` spaces, and the second 45 and subsequent lines are indented by `indent2` spaces. `width`, 46 `indent1`, and `indent2` default to 76, 6 and 9 respectively. 47 48FILES 49----- 50 51If a file `.mailmap` exists at the toplevel of the repository, or at the 52location pointed to by the log.mailmap configuration option, 53it is used to map an author email address to a canonical real name. This 54can be used to coalesce together commits by the same person where their 55name was spelled differently (whether with the same email address or 56not). 57 58Each line in the file consists, in this order, of the canonical real name 59of an author, whitespace, and an email address (enclosed by '<' and '>') 60to map to the name. Use hash '#' for comments, either on their own line, 61or after the email address. 62 63A canonical name may appear in more than one line, associated with 64different email addresses, but it doesn't make sense for a given address 65to appear more than once (if that happens, a later line overrides the 66earlier ones). 67 68So, for example, if your history contains commits by two authors, Jane 69and Joe, whose names appear in the repository under several forms: 70 71------------ 72Joe Developer <joe@example.com> 73Joe R. Developer <joe@example.com> 74Jane Doe <jane@example.com> 75Jane Doe <jane@laptop.(none)> 76Jane D. <jane@desktop.(none)> 77------------ 78 79Then, supposing Joe wants his middle name initial used, and Jane prefers 80her family name fully spelled out, a proper `.mailmap` file would look like: 81 82------------ 83# Note how we don't need an entry for <jane@laptop.(none)>, because the 84# real name of that author is correct already, and coalesced directly. 85Jane Doe <jane@desktop.(none)> 86Joe R. Developer <joe@example.com> 87------------ 88 89Author 90------ 91Written by Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com> 92 93Documentation 94-------------- 95Documentation by Junio C Hamano. 96 97GIT 98--- 99Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite
