Documentation / pretty-options.txton commit blame: add --line-porcelain output format (ed747dd)
   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>'.  See
   7        the "PRETTY FORMATS" section for some additional details for each
   8        format.  When omitted, the format defaults to 'medium'.
   9+
  10Note: you can specify the default pretty format in the repository
  11configuration (see linkgit:git-config[1]).
  12
  13--abbrev-commit::
  14        Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object
  15        name, show only a partial prefix.  Non default number of
  16        digits can be specified with "--abbrev=<n>" (which also modifies
  17        diff output, if it is displayed).
  18+
  19This should make "--pretty=oneline" a whole lot more readable for
  20people using 80-column terminals.
  21
  22--oneline::
  23        This is a shorthand for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit"
  24        used together.
  25
  26--encoding[=<encoding>]::
  27        The commit objects record the encoding used for the log message
  28        in their encoding header; this option can be used to tell the
  29        command to re-code the commit log message in the encoding
  30        preferred by the user.  For non plumbing commands this
  31        defaults to UTF-8.
  32
  33--notes[=<ref>]::
  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 given
  38        on the command line.
  39+
  40By default, the notes shown are from the notes refs listed in the
  41'core.notesRef' and 'notes.displayRef' variables (or corresponding
  42environment overrides). See linkgit:git-config[1] for more details.
  43+
  44With an optional '<ref>' argument, show this notes ref instead of the
  45default notes ref(s). The ref is taken to be in `refs/notes/` if it
  46is not qualified.
  47+
  48Multiple --notes options can be combined to control which notes are
  49being displayed. Examples: "--notes=foo" will show only notes from
  50"refs/notes/foo"; "--notes=foo --notes" will show both notes from
  51"refs/notes/foo" and from the default notes ref(s).
  52
  53--no-notes::
  54        Do not show notes. This negates the above `--notes` option, by
  55        resetting the list of notes refs from which notes are shown.
  56        Options are parsed in the order given on the command line, so e.g.
  57        "--notes --notes=foo --no-notes --notes=bar" will only show notes
  58        from "refs/notes/bar".
  59
  60--show-notes[=<ref>]::
  61--[no-]standard-notes::
  62        These options are deprecated. Use the above --notes/--no-notes
  63        options instead.
