-log.abbrevCommit::
+`log.abbrevCommit`::
If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--abbrev-commit`. You may
override this option with `--no-abbrev-commit`.
-log.date::
- Set the default date-time mode for the 'log' command.
- Setting a value for log.date is similar to using 'git log''s
+`log.date`::
+ Set the default date-time mode for the `log` command.
+ Setting a value for log.date is similar to using `git log`'s
`--date` option. See linkgit:git-log[1] for details.
+
If the format is set to "auto:foo" and the pager is in use, format
"foo" will be used for the date format. Otherwise, "default" will
be used.
-log.decorate::
+`log.decorate`::
Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown by the log
- command. If 'short' is specified, the ref name prefixes 'refs/heads/',
- 'refs/tags/' and 'refs/remotes/' will not be printed. If 'full' is
- specified, the full ref name (including prefix) will be printed.
- If 'auto' is specified, then if the output is going to a terminal,
- the ref names are shown as if 'short' were given, otherwise no ref
- names are shown. This is the same as the `--decorate` option
- of the `git log`.
+ command. Possible values are:
++
+----
+`short`;; the ref name prefixes `refs/heads/`, `refs/tags/` and
+ `refs/remotes/` are not printed.
+`full`;; the full ref name (including prefix) are printed.
+`auto`;; if the output is going to a terminal,
+ the ref names are shown as if `short` were given, otherwise no ref
+ names are shown.
+----
++
+This is the same as the `--decorate` option of the `git log`.
-log.initialDecorationSet::
+`log.initialDecorationSet`::
By default, `git log` only shows decorations for certain known ref
namespaces. If 'all' is specified, then show all refs as
decorations.
-log.excludeDecoration::
+`log.excludeDecoration`::
Exclude the specified patterns from the log decorations. This is
similar to the `--decorate-refs-exclude` command-line option, but
the config option can be overridden by the `--decorate-refs`
option.
-log.diffMerges::
+`log.diffMerges`::
Set diff format to be used when `--diff-merges=on` is
specified, see `--diff-merges` in linkgit:git-log[1] for
details. Defaults to `separate`.
-log.follow::
+`log.follow`::
If `true`, `git log` will act as if the `--follow` option was used when
a single <path> is given. This has the same limitations as `--follow`,
i.e. it cannot be used to follow multiple files and does not work well
on non-linear history.
-log.graphColors::
+`log.graphColors`::
A list of colors, separated by commas, that can be used to draw
history lines in `git log --graph`.
-log.showRoot::
+`log.showRoot`::
If true, the initial commit will be shown as a big creation event.
This is equivalent to a diff against an empty tree.
Tools like linkgit:git-log[1] or linkgit:git-whatchanged[1], which
normally hide the root commit will now show it. True by default.
-log.showSignature::
+`log.showSignature`::
If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--show-signature`.
-log.mailmap::
+`log.mailmap`::
If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--use-mailmap`, otherwise
assume `--no-use-mailmap`. True by default.
