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>'. 7 When omitted, the format defaults to 'medium'. 8+ 9Note: you can specify the default pretty format in the repository 10configuration (see linkgit:git-config[1]). 11 12--abbrev-commit:: 13 Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object 14 name, show only a partial prefix. Non default number of 15 digits can be specified with "--abbrev=<n>" (which also modifies 16 diff output, if it is displayed). 17+ 18This should make "--pretty=oneline" a whole lot more readable for 19people using 80-column terminals. 20 21--oneline:: 22 This is a shorthand for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit" 23 used together. 24 25--encoding[=<encoding>]:: 26 The commit objects record the encoding used for the log message 27 in their encoding header; this option can be used to tell the 28 command to re-code the commit log message in the encoding 29 preferred by the user. For non plumbing commands this 30 defaults to UTF-8. 31 32--no-notes:: 33--show-notes:: 34 Show the notes (see linkgit:git-notes[1]) that annotate the 35 commit, when showing the commit log message. This is the default 36 for `git log`, `git show` and `git whatchanged` commands when 37 there is no `--pretty`, `--format` nor `--oneline` option is 38 given on the command line.
