   1 --pretty[=<format>]::
   2 --format=<format>::
   3
   4         Pretty-print the contents of the commit logs in a given format,
   5         where '<format>' can be one of 'oneline', 'short', 'medium',
   6         'full', 'fuller', 'email', 'raw' and 'format:<string>'.  See
   7         the "PRETTY FORMATS" section for some additional details for each
   8         format.  When omitted, the format defaults to 'medium'.
   9 +
  10 Note: you can specify the default pretty format in the repository
  11 configuration (see linkgit:git-config[1]).
  12
  13 --abbrev-commit::
  14         Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object
  15         name, show only a partial prefix.  Non default number of
  16         digits can be specified with "--abbrev=<n>" (which also modifies
  17         diff output, if it is displayed).
  18 +
  19 This should make "--pretty=oneline" a whole lot more readable for
  20 people using 80-column terminals.
  21
  22 --no-abbrev-commit::
  23         Show the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object name. This negates
  24         `--abbrev-commit` and those options which imply it such as
  25         "--oneline". It also overrides the 'log.abbrevCommit' variable.
  26
  27 --oneline::
  28         This is a shorthand for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit"
  29         used together.
  30
  31 --encoding[=<encoding>]::
  32         The commit objects record the encoding used for the log message
  33         in their encoding header; this option can be used to tell the
  34         command to re-code the commit log message in the encoding
  35         preferred by the user.  For non plumbing commands this
  36         defaults to UTF-8.
  37
  38 --notes[=<ref>]::
  39         Show the notes (see linkgit:git-notes[1]) that annotate the
  40         commit, when showing the commit log message.  This is the default
  41         for `git log`, `git show` and `git whatchanged` commands when
  42         there is no `--pretty`, `--format` nor `--oneline` option given
  43         on the command line.
  44 +
  45 By default, the notes shown are from the notes refs listed in the
  46 'core.notesRef' and 'notes.displayRef' variables (or corresponding
  47 environment overrides). See linkgit:git-config[1] for more details.
  48 +
  49 With an optional '<ref>' argument, show this notes ref instead of the
  50 default notes ref(s). The ref is taken to be in `refs/notes/` if it
  51 is not qualified.
  52 +
  53 Multiple --notes options can be combined to control which notes are
  54 being displayed. Examples: "--notes=foo" will show only notes from
  55 "refs/notes/foo"; "--notes=foo --notes" will show both notes from
  56 "refs/notes/foo" and from the default notes ref(s).
  57
  58 --no-notes::
  59         Do not show notes. This negates the above `--notes` option, by
  60         resetting the list of notes refs from which notes are shown.
  61         Options are parsed in the order given on the command line, so e.g.
  62         "--notes --notes=foo --no-notes --notes=bar" will only show notes
  63         from "refs/notes/bar".
  64
  65 --show-notes[=<ref>]::
  66 --[no-]standard-notes::
  67         These options are deprecated. Use the above --notes/--no-notes
  68         options instead.
