Hello,
To obtain a listing of all local commit information in Git, you can use the
git log
command. This command displays the commit history in reverse chronological order, showing details such as the commit hash, author, date, and commit message for each commit.
To view the commit history in the terminal, navigate to your Git repository directory and run the following command: chipotlefeedback
git log
This will display a list of commits in your local repository, starting with the most recent commit. You can scroll through the log using the arrow keys and press
q
to exit the log view.
By default,
git log
displays a summary of each commit. If you want to see more detailed information about each commit, including the changes made in each commit, you can use the
--stat
or
--patch
option with the
git log
command:
git log --stat
This will show a summary of the files changed in each commit along with the number of insertions and deletions.
git log --patch
This will display the full diff or patch for each commit, showing the exact changes made to each file.
You can also customize the output of
git log
using various formatting options. For example, you can use
--pretty
to specify a custom format for the log output. Here's an example that displays the commit hash, author, date, and commit message in a concise format:
git log --pretty=format:'%h - %an, %ar : %s'
This will show output like:
2a3d5f1 - John Doe, 3 days ago: Fix bug in feature XYZ
5c8fe2d - Jane Smith, 1 week ago: Add new functionality
These are some basic options for using
git log to obtain a listing of local commit information in Git. You can refer to the Git documentation for more advanced options and customizations.
