This line begins with +"Merge: " and the sha1s of ancestral commits are printed, +separated by spaces. Note that the listed commits may not +necessarily be the list of the *direct* parent commits if you +have limited your view of history: for example, if you are +only interested in changes related to a certain directory or +file. + +Here are some additional details for each format: + +* 'oneline' + + <sha1> <title line> ++ +This is designed to be as compact as possible. + +* 'short' + + commit <sha1> + Author: <author> + + <title line> + +* 'medium' + + commit <sha1> + Author: <author> + Date: <author date> + + <title line> + + <full commit message> + +* 'full' + + commit <sha1> + Author: <author> + Commit: <committer> + + <title line> + + <full commit message> + +* 'fuller' + + commit <sha1> + Author: <author> + AuthorDate: <author date> + Commit: <committer> + CommitDate: <committer date> + + <title line> + + <full commit message> + +* 'email' + + From <sha1> <date> + From: <author> + Date: <author date> + Subject: [PATCH] <title line> + + <full commit message> + +* 'raw' ++ +The 'raw' format shows the entire commit exactly as +stored in the commit object. Notably, the SHA1s are +displayed in full, regardless of whether --abbrev or +--no-abbrev are used, and 'parents' information show the +true parent commits, without taking grafts nor history +simplification into account. + +* 'format:' ++ +The 'format:' format allows you to specify which information +you want to show. It works a little bit like printf format, +with the notable exception that you get a newline with '%n' +instead of '\n'. ++ +E.g, 'format:"The author of %h was %an, %ar%nThe title was >>%s<<%n"' +would show something like this: ++ +------- +The author of fe6e0ee was Junio C Hamano, 23 hours ago +The title was >>t4119: test autocomputing -p<n> for traditional diff input.<< + +-------- ++ +The placeholders are: + +- '%H': commit hash +- '%h': abbreviated commit hash +- '%T': tree hash +- '%t': abbreviated tree hash +- '%P': parent hashes +- '%p': abbreviated parent hashes +- '%an': author name +- '%aN': author name (respecting .mailmap, see linkgit:git-shortlog[1] or linkgit:git-blame[1]) +- '%ae': author email +- '%aE': author email (respecting .mailmap, see linkgit:git-shortlog[1] or linkgit:git-blame[1]) +- '%ad': author date (format respects --date= option) +- '%aD': author date, RFC2822 style +- '%ar': author date, relative +- '%at': author date, UNIX timestamp +- '%ai': author date, ISO 8601 format +- '%cn': committer name +- '%cN': committer name (respecting .mailmap, see linkgit:git-shortlog[1] or linkgit:git-blame[1]) +- '%ce': committer email +- '%cE': committer email (respecting .mailmap, see linkgit:git-shortlog[1] or linkgit:git-blame[1]) +- '%cd': committer date +- '%cD': committer date, RFC2822 style +- '%cr': committer date, relative +- '%ct': committer date, UNIX timestamp +- '%ci': committer date, ISO 8601 format +- '%d': ref names, like the --decorate option of linkgit:git-log[1] +- '%e': encoding +- '%s': subject +- '%f': sanitized subject line, suitable for a filename +- '%b': body +- '%N': commit notes +- '%gD': reflog selector, e.g., `refs/stash@\{1\}` +- '%gd': shortened reflog selector, e.g., `stash@\{1\}` +- '%gs': reflog subject +- '%Cred': switch color to red +- '%Cgreen': switch color to green +- '%Cblue': switch color to blue +- '%Creset': reset color +- '%C(...)': color specification, as described in color.branch.* config option +- '%m': left, right or boundary mark +- '%n': newline +- '%%': a raw '%' +- '%x00': print a byte from a hex code +- '%w([<w>[,<i1>[,<i2>]]])': switch line wrapping, like the -w option of + linkgit:git-shortlog[1]. + +NOTE: Some placeholders may depend on other options given to the +revision traversal engine. For example, the `%g*` reflog options will +insert an empty string unless we are traversing reflog entries (e.g., by +`git log -g`). The `%d` placeholder will use the "short" decoration +format if `--decorate` was not already provided on the command line. + +If you add a `{plus}` (plus sign) after '%' of a placeholder, a line-feed +is inserted immediately before the expansion if and only if the +placeholder expands to a non-empty string. + +If you add a `-` (minus sign) after '%' of a placeholder, line-feeds that +immediately precede the expansion are deleted if and only if the +placeholder expands to an empty string. + +* 'tformat:' ++ +The 'tformat:' format works exactly like 'format:', except that it +provides "terminator" semantics instead of "separator" semantics. In +other words, each commit has the message terminator character (usually a +newline) appended, rather than a separator placed between entries. +This means that the final entry of a single-line format will be properly +terminated with a new line, just as the "oneline" format does. +For example: ++ +--------------------- +$ git log -2 --pretty=format:%h 4da45bef \ + | perl -pe '$_ .= " -- NO NEWLINE\n" unless /\n/' +4da45be +7134973 -- NO NEWLINE + +$ git log -2 --pretty=tformat:%h 4da45bef \ + | perl -pe '$_ .= " -- NO NEWLINE\n" unless /\n/' +4da45be +7134973 +--------------------- ++ +In addition, any unrecognized string that has a `%` in it is interpreted +as if it has `tformat:` in front of it. For example, these two are +equivalent: ++ +--------------------- +$ git log -2 --pretty=tformat:%h 4da45bef +$ git log -2 --pretty=%h 4da45bef +--------------------- |
