   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'.

  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 --oneline::
  23         This is a shorthand for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit"
  24         used together.
  25
  26 --encoding[=<encoding>]::
  27         The commit objects record the encoding used for the log message
  28         in their encoding header; this option can be used to tell the
  29         command to re-code the commit log message in the encoding
  30         preferred by the user.  For non plumbing commands this
  31         defaults to UTF-8.
  32
  33 --no-notes::
  34 --show-notes[=<ref>]::
  35         Show the notes (see linkgit:git-notes[1]) that annotate the
  36         commit, when showing the commit log message.  This is the default
  37         for `git log`, `git show` and `git whatchanged` commands when
  38         there is no `--pretty`, `--format` nor `--oneline` option is
  39         given on the command line.
  40 +
  41 With an optional argument, add this ref to the list of notes.  The ref
  42 is taken to be in `refs/notes/` if it is not qualified.
  43
  44 --[no-]standard-notes::
  45         Enable or disable populating the notes ref list from the
  46         'core.notesRef' and 'notes.displayRef' variables (or
  47         corresponding environment overrides).  Enabled by default.
