 | NAME | 
 | ---- | 
 | git-log - Show commit logs | 
 |  | 
 |  | 
 | SYNOPSIS | 
 | -------- | 
 | 'git-log' <option>... | 
 |  | 
 | DESCRIPTION | 
 | ----------- | 
 | Shows the commit logs.  This command internally invokes | 
 | 'git-rev-list', and the command line options are passed to that | 
 | command. | 
 |  | 
 | This manual page describes only the most frequently used options. | 
 |  | 
 | OPTIONS | 
 | ------- | 
 | --pretty=<format>:: | 
 | 	Controls the way the commit log is formatted. | 
 |  | 
 | --max-count=<n>:: | 
 | 	Limits the number of commits to show. | 
 |  | 
 | <since>..<until>:: | 
 | 	Show only commits between the named two commits. | 
 |  | 
 |  | 
 | Examples | 
 | -------- | 
 | git log --no-merges:: | 
 |  | 
 | 	Show the whole commit history, but skip any merges | 
 |  | 
 | git log v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi:: | 
 |  | 
 | 	Show all commits since version 'v2.6.12' that changed any file | 
 | 	in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories | 
 |  | 
 | git log --since="2 weeks ago" -- gitk:: | 
 |  | 
 | 	Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file 'gitk'. | 
 | 	The "--" is necessary to avoid confusion with the *branch* named | 
 | 	'gitk' |
