--pretty[=]:: --format=:: Pretty-print the contents of the commit logs in a given format, where '' can be one of 'oneline', 'short', 'medium', 'full', 'fuller', 'email', 'raw', 'format:' and 'tformat:'. When '' is none of the above, and has '%placeholder' in it, it acts as if '--pretty=tformat:' were given. + See the "PRETTY FORMATS" section for some additional details for each format. When '=' part is omitted, it 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=" (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. --no-abbrev-commit:: Show the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object name. This negates `--abbrev-commit` and those options which imply it such as "--oneline". It also overrides the 'log.abbrevCommit' variable. --oneline:: This is a shorthand for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit" used together. --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. Note that if an object claims to be encoded in `X` and we are outputting in `X`, we will output the object verbatim; this means that invalid sequences in the original commit may be copied to the output. ifndef::git-rev-list[] --notes[=]:: Show the notes (see linkgit:git-notes[1]) that annotate the commit, when showing the commit log message. This is the default for `git log`, `git show` and `git whatchanged` commands when there is no `--pretty`, `--format`, or `--oneline` option given on the command line. + By default, the notes shown are from the notes refs listed in the 'core.notesRef' and 'notes.displayRef' variables (or corresponding environment overrides). See linkgit:git-config[1] for more details. + With an optional '' argument, show this notes ref instead of the default notes ref(s). The ref is taken to be in `refs/notes/` if it is not qualified. + Multiple --notes options can be combined to control which notes are being displayed. Examples: "--notes=foo" will show only notes from "refs/notes/foo"; "--notes=foo --notes" will show both notes from "refs/notes/foo" and from the default notes ref(s). --no-notes:: Do not show notes. This negates the above `--notes` option, by resetting the list of notes refs from which notes are shown. Options are parsed in the order given on the command line, so e.g. "--notes --notes=foo --no-notes --notes=bar" will only show notes from "refs/notes/bar". --show-notes[=]:: --[no-]standard-notes:: These options are deprecated. Use the above --notes/--no-notes options instead. endif::git-rev-list[] --show-signature:: Check the validity of a signed commit object by passing the signature to `gpg --verify` and show the output.
