   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>'.
   7         When omitted, the format defaults to 'medium'.

   9 Note: you can specify the default pretty format in the repository
  10 configuration (see linkgit:git-config[1]).
  11
  12 --abbrev-commit::
  13         Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object
  14         name, show only a partial prefix.  Non default number of
  15         digits can be specified with "--abbrev=<n>" (which also modifies
  16         diff output, if it is displayed).
  17 +
  18 This should make "--pretty=oneline" a whole lot more readable for
  19 people using 80-column terminals.
  20
  21 --oneline::
  22         This is a shorthand for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit"
  23         used together.
  24
  25 --encoding[=<encoding>]::
  26         The commit objects record the encoding used for the log message
  27         in their encoding header; this option can be used to tell the
  28         command to re-code the commit log message in the encoding
  29         preferred by the user.  For non plumbing commands this
  30         defaults to UTF-8.
  31
  32 --no-notes::
  33 --show-notes::
  34         Show the notes (see linkgit:git-notes[1]) that annotate the
  35         commit, when showing the commit log message.  This is the default
  36         for `git log`, `git show` and `git whatchanged` commands when
  37         there is no `--pretty`, `--format` nor `--oneline` option is
  38         given on the command line.
