==========
 
NAME
----
git-log - Show commit logs
 
 
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-log' <option>...
 
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Shows the commit logs.
 
The command takes options applicable to the gitlink:git-rev-list[1]
command to control what is shown and how, and options applicable to
the gitlink:git-diff-tree[1] commands to control how the change
each commit introduces are shown.
 
This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.
 
 
OPTIONS
-------
 
include::pretty-formats.txt[]
 
-<n>::
	Limits the number of commits to show.
 
<since>..<until>::
	Show only commits between the named two commits.  When
	either <since> or <until> is omitted, it defaults to
	`HEAD`, i.e. the tip of the current branch.
	For a more complete list of ways to spell <since>
	and <until>, see "SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in
	gitlink:git-rev-parse[1].
 
-p::
	Show the change the commit introduces in a patch form.
 
<paths>...::
	Show only commits that affect the specified paths.
 
 
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'
 
git log -r --name-status release..test::
 
	Show the commits that are in the "test" branch but not yet
	in the "release" branch, along with the list of paths
	each commit modifies.
