Documentation / config / log.txton commit Merge branch 'nd/the-index' (cde5554)
   1log.abbrevCommit::
   2        If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
   3        linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--abbrev-commit`. You may
   4        override this option with `--no-abbrev-commit`.
   5
   6log.date::
   7        Set the default date-time mode for the 'log' command.
   8        Setting a value for log.date is similar to using 'git log''s
   9        `--date` option.  See linkgit:git-log[1] for details.
  10
  11log.decorate::
  12        Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown by the log
  13        command. If 'short' is specified, the ref name prefixes 'refs/heads/',
  14        'refs/tags/' and 'refs/remotes/' will not be printed. If 'full' is
  15        specified, the full ref name (including prefix) will be printed.
  16        If 'auto' is specified, then if the output is going to a terminal,
  17        the ref names are shown as if 'short' were given, otherwise no ref
  18        names are shown. This is the same as the `--decorate` option
  19        of the `git log`.
  20
  21log.follow::
  22        If `true`, `git log` will act as if the `--follow` option was used when
  23        a single <path> is given.  This has the same limitations as `--follow`,
  24        i.e. it cannot be used to follow multiple files and does not work well
  25        on non-linear history.
  26
  27log.graphColors::
  28        A list of colors, separated by commas, that can be used to draw
  29        history lines in `git log --graph`.
  30
  31log.showRoot::
  32        If true, the initial commit will be shown as a big creation event.
  33        This is equivalent to a diff against an empty tree.
  34        Tools like linkgit:git-log[1] or linkgit:git-whatchanged[1], which
  35        normally hide the root commit will now show it. True by default.
  36
  37log.showSignature::
  38        If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
  39        linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--show-signature`.
  40
  41log.mailmap::
  42        If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
  43        linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--use-mailmap`.
