| Junio C Hamano | a340aaa | 2006-11-23 02:47:33 | [diff] [blame^] | 1 | --pretty[='<format>']:: |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Pretty-prints the details of a commit. `--pretty` |
| 4 | without an explicit `=<format>` defaults to 'medium'. |
| 5 | If the commit is a merge, and if the pretty-format |
| 6 | is not 'oneline', 'email' or 'raw', an additional line is |
| 7 | inserted before the 'Author:' line. This line begins with |
| 8 | "Merge: " and the sha1s of ancestral commits are printed, |
| 9 | separated by spaces. Note that the listed commits may not |
| 10 | necessarily be the list of the *direct* parent commits if you |
| 11 | have limited your view of history: for example, if you are |
| 12 | only interested in changes related to a certain directory or |
| 13 | file. Here are some additional details for each format: |
| 14 | |
| 15 | * 'oneline' |
| 16 | |
| 17 | <sha1> <title line> |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | This is designed to be as compact as possible. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | * 'short' |
| 22 | |
| 23 | commit <sha1> |
| 24 | Author: <author> |
| 25 | |
| 26 | <title line> |
| 27 | |
| 28 | * 'medium' |
| 29 | |
| 30 | commit <sha1> |
| 31 | Author: <author> |
| 32 | Date: <date> |
| 33 | |
| 34 | <title line> |
| 35 | |
| 36 | <full commit message> |
| 37 | |
| 38 | * 'full' |
| 39 | |
| 40 | commit <sha1> |
| 41 | Author: <author> |
| 42 | Commit: <committer> |
| 43 | |
| 44 | <title line> |
| 45 | |
| 46 | <full commit message> |
| 47 | |
| 48 | * 'fuller' |
| 49 | |
| 50 | commit <sha1> |
| 51 | Author: <author> |
| 52 | AuthorDate: <date & time> |
| 53 | Commit: <committer> |
| 54 | CommitDate: <date & time> |
| 55 | |
| 56 | <title line> |
| 57 | |
| 58 | <full commit message> |
| 59 | |
| 60 | |
| 61 | * 'email' |
| 62 | |
| 63 | From <sha1> <date> |
| 64 | From: <author> |
| 65 | Date: <date & time> |
| 66 | Subject: [PATCH] <title line> |
| 67 | |
| 68 | full commit message> |
| 69 | |
| 70 | |
| 71 | * 'raw' |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | The 'raw' format shows the entire commit exactly as |
| 74 | stored in the commit object. Notably, the SHA1s are |
| 75 | displayed in full, regardless of whether --abbrev or |
| 76 | --no-abbrev are used, and 'parents' information show the |
| 77 | true parent commits, without taking grafts nor history |
| 78 | simplification into account. |
