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. 41 42--notes[=<ref>]:: 43 Show the notes (see linkgit:git-notes[1]) that annotate the 44 commit, when showing the commit log message. This is the default 45 for `git log`, `git show` and `git whatchanged` commands when 46 there is no `--pretty`, `--format`, or `--oneline` option given 47 on the command line. 48+ 49By default, the notes shown are from the notes refs listed in the 50'core.notesRef' and 'notes.displayRef' variables (or corresponding 51environment overrides). See linkgit:git-config[1] for more details. 52+ 53With an optional '<ref>' argument, show this notes ref instead of the 54default notes ref(s). The ref is taken to be in `refs/notes/` if it 55is not qualified. 56+ 57Multiple --notes options can be combined to control which notes are 58being displayed. Examples: "--notes=foo" will show only notes from 59"refs/notes/foo"; "--notes=foo --notes" will show both notes from 60"refs/notes/foo" and from the default notes ref(s). 61 62--no-notes:: 63 Do not show notes. This negates the above `--notes` option, by 64 resetting the list of notes refs from which notes are shown. 65 Options are parsed in the order given on the command line, so e.g. 66 "--notes --notes=foo --no-notes --notes=bar" will only show notes 67 from "refs/notes/bar". 68 69--show-notes[=<ref>]:: 70--[no-]standard-notes:: 71 These options are deprecated. Use the above --notes/--no-notes 72 options instead. 73 74--show-signature:: 75 Check the validity of a signed commit object by passing the signature 76 to `gpg --verify` and show the output.
