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