Documentation / pretty-options.txton commit convert: allow core.autocrlf=input and core.eol=crlf (70ad8c8)
   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', 'format:<string>'
   7        and 'tformat:<string>'.  When '<format>' is none of the above,
   8        and has '%placeholder' in it, it acts as if
   9        '--pretty=tformat:<format>' were given.
  10+
  11See the "PRETTY FORMATS" section for some additional details for each
  12format.  When '=<format>' part is omitted, it defaults to 'medium'.
  13+
  14Note: you can specify the default pretty format in the repository
  15configuration (see linkgit:git-config[1]).
  16
  17--abbrev-commit::
  18        Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object
  19        name, show only a partial prefix.  Non default number of
  20        digits can be specified with "--abbrev=<n>" (which also modifies
  21        diff output, if it is displayed).
  22+
  23This should make "--pretty=oneline" a whole lot more readable for
  24people using 80-column terminals.
  25
  26--no-abbrev-commit::
  27        Show the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object name. This negates
  28        `--abbrev-commit` and those options which imply it such as
  29        "--oneline". It also overrides the 'log.abbrevCommit' variable.
  30
  31--oneline::
  32        This is a shorthand for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit"
  33        used together.
  34
  35--encoding=<encoding>::
  36        The commit objects record the encoding used for the log message
  37        in their encoding header; this option can be used to tell the
  38        command to re-code the commit log message in the encoding
  39        preferred by the user.  For non plumbing commands this
  40        defaults to UTF-8. Note that if an object claims to be encoded
  41        in `X` and we are outputting in `X`, we will output the object
  42        verbatim; this means that invalid sequences in the original
  43        commit may be copied to the output.
  44
  45ifndef::git-rev-list[]
  46--notes[=<treeish>]::
  47        Show the notes (see linkgit:git-notes[1]) that annotate the
  48        commit, when showing the commit log message.  This is the default
  49        for `git log`, `git show` and `git whatchanged` commands when
  50        there is no `--pretty`, `--format`, or `--oneline` option given
  51        on the command line.
  52+
  53By default, the notes shown are from the notes refs listed in the
  54'core.notesRef' and 'notes.displayRef' variables (or corresponding
  55environment overrides). See linkgit:git-config[1] for more details.
  56+
  57With an optional '<treeish>' argument, use the treeish to find the notes
  58to display.  The treeish can specify the full refname when it begins
  59with `refs/notes/`; when it begins with `notes/`, `refs/` and otherwise
  60`refs/notes/` is prefixed to form a full name of the ref.
  61+
  62Multiple --notes options can be combined to control which notes are
  63being displayed. Examples: "--notes=foo" will show only notes from
  64"refs/notes/foo"; "--notes=foo --notes" will show both notes from
  65"refs/notes/foo" and from the default notes ref(s).
  66
  67--no-notes::
  68        Do not show notes. This negates the above `--notes` option, by
  69        resetting the list of notes refs from which notes are shown.
  70        Options are parsed in the order given on the command line, so e.g.
  71        "--notes --notes=foo --no-notes --notes=bar" will only show notes
  72        from "refs/notes/bar".
  73
  74--show-notes[=<treeish>]::
  75--[no-]standard-notes::
  76        These options are deprecated. Use the above --notes/--no-notes
  77        options instead.

  80--show-signature::
  81        Check the validity of a signed commit object by passing the signature
  82        to `gpg --verify` and show the output.
