--pretty[=<format>]:: --format=<format>:: Pretty-print the contents of the commit logs in a given format, where '<format>' can be one of 'oneline', 'short', 'medium', 'full', 'fuller', 'email', 'raw' and 'format:<string>'. 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. --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. --no-notes:: --show-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 is given on the command line. + With an optional argument, add this ref to the list of notes. The ref is taken to be in `refs/notes/` if it is not qualified. --[no-]standard-notes:: Enable or disable populating the notes ref list from the 'core.notesRef' and 'notes.displayRef' variables (or corresponding environment overrides). Enabled by default. See linkgit:git-config[1].
