1--pretty[='<format>']:: 2 3 Pretty-print the contents of the commit logs in a given format, 4 where '<format>' can be one of 'oneline', 'short', 'medium', 5 'full', 'fuller', 'email', 'raw' and 'format:<string>'. 6 When omitted, the format defaults to 'medium'. 7+ 8Note: you can specify the default pretty format in the repository 9configuration (see linkgit:git-config[1]). 10 11--abbrev-commit:: 12 Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object 13 name, show only a partial prefix. Non default number of 14 digits can be specified with "--abbrev=<n>" (which also modifies 15 diff output, if it is displayed). 16+ 17This should make "--pretty=oneline" a whole lot more readable for 18people using 80-column terminals. 19 20--encoding[=<encoding>]:: 21 The commit objects record the encoding used for the log message 22 in their encoding header; this option can be used to tell the 23 command to re-code the commit log message in the encoding 24 preferred by the user. For non plumbing commands this 25 defaults to UTF-8.
