1 log.abbrevCommit::
2 If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
3 linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--abbrev-commit`. You may
4 override this option with `--no-abbrev-commit`.
5
6 log.date::
7 Set the default date-time mode for the 'log' command.
8 Setting a value for log.date is similar to using 'git log''s
9 `--date` option. See linkgit:git-log[1] for details.
10 +
11 If the format is set to "auto:foo" and the pager is in use, format
12 "foo" will be the used for the date format. Otherwise "default" will
13 be used.
14
15 log.decorate::
16 Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown by the log
17 command. If 'short' is specified, the ref name prefixes 'refs/heads/',
18 'refs/tags/' and 'refs/remotes/' will not be printed. If 'full' is
19 specified, the full ref name (including prefix) will be printed.
20 If 'auto' is specified, then if the output is going to a terminal,
21 the ref names are shown as if 'short' were given, otherwise no ref
22 names are shown. This is the same as the `--decorate` option
23 of the `git log`.
24
25 log.initialDecorationSet::
26 By default, `git log` only shows decorations for certain known ref
27 namespaces. If 'all' is specified, then show all refs as
28 decorations.
29
30 log.excludeDecoration::
31 Exclude the specified patterns from the log decorations. This is
32 similar to the `--decorate-refs-exclude` command-line option, but
33 the config option can be overridden by the `--decorate-refs`
34 option.
35
36 log.diffMerges::
37 Set diff format to be used when `--diff-merges=on` is
38 specified, see `--diff-merges` in linkgit:git-log[1] for
39 details. Defaults to `separate`.
40
41 log.follow::
42 If `true`, `git log` will act as if the `--follow` option was used when
43 a single <path> is given. This has the same limitations as `--follow`,
44 i.e. it cannot be used to follow multiple files and does not work well
45 on non-linear history.
46
47 log.graphColors::
48 A list of colors, separated by commas, that can be used to draw
49 history lines in `git log --graph`.
50
51 log.showRoot::
52 If true, the initial commit will be shown as a big creation event.
53 This is equivalent to a diff against an empty tree.
54 Tools like linkgit:git-log[1] or linkgit:git-whatchanged[1], which
55 normally hide the root commit will now show it. True by default.
56
57 log.showSignature::
58 If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
59 linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--show-signature`.
60
61 log.mailmap::
62 If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
63 linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--use-mailmap`, otherwise
64 assume `--no-use-mailmap`. True by default.
