  10[verse]
  11git log --pretty=short | 'git shortlog' [-h] [-n] [-s] [-e] [-w]
  12'git shortlog' [-n|--numbered] [-s|--summary] [-e|--email] [-w[<width>[,<indent1>[,<indent2>]]]] <commit>...

  14DESCRIPTION
  15-----------
  16Summarizes 'git log' output in a format suitable for inclusion
  17in release announcements. Each commit will be grouped by author and
  18the first line of the commit message will be shown.
  19
  20Additionally, "[PATCH]" will be stripped from the commit description.
  21
  22If no revisions are passed on the command line and either standard input
  23is not a terminal or there is no current branch, 'git shortlog' will
  24output a summary of the log read from standard input, without
  25reference to the current repository.

  27OPTIONS
  28-------
  29
  30-h::
  31--help::
  32        Print a short usage message and exit.
  33
  34-n::
  35--numbered::
  36        Sort output according to the number of commits per author instead
  37        of author alphabetic order.
  38
  39-s::
  40--summary::
  41        Suppress commit description and provide a commit count summary only.
  42
  43-e::
  44--email::
  45        Show the email address of each author.
  46
  47--format[=<format>]::
  48        Instead of the commit subject, use some other information to
  49        describe each commit.  '<format>' can be any string accepted
  50        by the `--format` option of 'git log', such as '* [%h] %s'.
  51        (See the "PRETTY FORMATS" section of linkgit:git-log[1].)
  52
  53        Each pretty-printed commit will be rewrapped before it is shown.
  54
  55-w[<width>[,<indent1>[,<indent2>]]]::
  56        Linewrap the output by wrapping each line at `width`.  The first
  57        line of each entry is indented by `indent1` spaces, and the second
  58        and subsequent lines are indented by `indent2` spaces. `width`,
  59        `indent1`, and `indent2` default to 76, 6 and 9 respectively.

  65The `.mailmap` feature is used to coalesce together commits by the same
  66person in the shortlog, where their name and/or email address was
  67spelled differently.
