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+
19This 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+
73The 'raw' format shows the entire commit exactly as
74stored in the commit object. Notably, the SHA1s are
75displayed in full, regardless of whether --abbrev or
76--no-abbrev are used, and 'parents' information show the
77true parent commits, without taking grafts nor history
78simplification into account.

80--encoding[=<encoding>]::
81 The commit objects record the encoding used for the log message
82 in their encoding header; this option can be used to tell the
83 command to re-code the commit log message in the encoding
84 preferred by the user. For non plumbing commands this
85 defaults to UTF-8.
