DESCRIPTION
more specialized family of commit log tools: gitlink:git-log[1],
gitlink:git-show[1], and gitlink:git-whatchanged[1]
---pretty[='<format>']::
-
- Pretty print the contents of the commit logs in a given format,
- where '<format>' can be one of 'raw', 'medium', 'short', 'full',
- and 'oneline'. When left out the format default to 'medium'.
+include::pretty-formats.txt[]
--relative-date::
Limit the number of commits output.
+--skip='number'::
+
+ Skip 'number' commits before starting to show the commit output.
+
--since='date', --after='date'::
Show commits more recent than a specific date.
In addition to the '<commit>' listed on the command
line, read them from the standard input.
+--walk-reflogs::
+
+ Instead of walking the commit ancestry chain, walk
+ reflog entries from the most recent one to older ones.
+ When this option is used you cannot specify commits to
+ exclude (that is, '{caret}commit', 'commit1..commit2',
+ nor 'commit1...commit2' notations cannot be used).
++
+With '\--pretty' format other than oneline (for obvious reasons),
+this causes the output to have two extra lines of information
+taken from the reflog. By default, 'commit@{Nth}' notation is
+used in the output. When the starting commit is specified as
+'commit@{now}', output also uses 'commit@{timestamp}' notation
+instead. Under '\--pretty=oneline', the commit message is
+prefixed with this information on the same line.

--merge::
After a failed merge, show refs that touch files having a
