git-shortlog(1) =============== NAME ---- git-shortlog - Summarize 'git log' output SYNOPSIS -------- [verse] 'git shortlog' [] [] [[--] ...] git log --pretty=short | 'git shortlog' [] DESCRIPTION ----------- Summarizes 'git log' output in a format suitable for inclusion in release announcements. Each commit will be grouped by author and title. Additionally, "[PATCH]" will be stripped from the commit description. If no revisions are passed on the command line and either standard input is not a terminal or there is no current branch, 'git shortlog' will output a summary of the log read from standard input, without reference to the current repository. OPTIONS ------- -n:: --numbered:: Sort output according to the number of commits per author instead of author alphabetic order. -s:: --summary:: Suppress commit description and provide a commit count summary only. -e:: --email:: Show the email address of each author. --format[=]:: Instead of the commit subject, use some other information to describe each commit. '' can be any string accepted by the `--format` option of 'git log', such as '* [%h] %s'. (See the "PRETTY FORMATS" section of linkgit:git-log[1].) Each pretty-printed commit will be rewrapped before it is shown. --group=:: Group commits based on ``. If no `--group` option is specified, the default is `author`. `` is one of: + -- - `author`, commits are grouped by author - `committer`, commits are grouped by committer (the same as `-c`) - `trailer:`, the `` is interpreted as a case-insensitive commit message trailer (see linkgit:git-interpret-trailers[1]). For example, if your project uses `Reviewed-by` trailers, you might want to see who has been reviewing with `git shortlog -ns --group=trailer:reviewed-by`. + Note that commits that do not include the trailer will not be counted. Likewise, commits with multiple trailers (e.g., multiple signoffs) may be counted more than once (but only once per unique trailer value in that commit). + Shortlog will attempt to parse each trailer value as a `name ` identity. If successful, the mailmap is applied and the email is omitted unless the `--email` option is specified. If the value cannot be parsed as an identity, it will be taken literally and completely. -- + If `--group` is specified multiple times, commits are counted under each value (but again, only once per unique value in that commit). For example, `git shortlog --group=author --group=trailer:co-authored-by` counts both authors and co-authors. -c:: --committer:: This is an alias for `--group=committer`. -w[[,[,]]]:: Linewrap the output by wrapping each line at `width`. The first line of each entry is indented by `indent1` spaces, and the second and subsequent lines are indented by `indent2` spaces. `width`, `indent1`, and `indent2` default to 76, 6 and 9 respectively. + If width is `0` (zero) then indent the lines of the output without wrapping them. :: Show only commits in the specified revision range. When no is specified, it defaults to `HEAD` (i.e. the whole history leading to the current commit). `origin..HEAD` specifies all the commits reachable from the current commit (i.e. `HEAD`), but not from `origin`. For a complete list of ways to spell , see the "Specifying Ranges" section of linkgit:gitrevisions[7]. [--] ...:: Consider only commits that are enough to explain how the files that match the specified paths came to be. + Paths may need to be prefixed with `--` to separate them from options or the revision range, when confusion arises. :git-shortlog: 1 include::rev-list-options.txt[] MAPPING AUTHORS --------------- See linkgit:gitmailmap[5]. Note that if `git shortlog` is run outside of a repository (to process log contents on standard input), it will look for a `.mailmap` file in the current directory.
