See + the "PRETTY FORMATS" section for some additional details for each + format. When omitted, the format 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=<n>" (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[=<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. + +--notes[=<ref>]:: + 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` nor `--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 '<ref>' 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[=<ref>]:: +--[no-]standard-notes:: + These options are deprecated. Use the above --notes/--no-notes + options instead. |
