   6 git-shortlog - Summarize 'git log' output
   7
   8 SYNOPSIS
   9 --------
  10 [verse]
  11 'git shortlog' [<options>] [<revision range>] [[--] <path>...]
  12 git log --pretty=short | 'git shortlog' [<options>]
  13
  14 DESCRIPTION
  15 -----------
  16 Summarizes 'git log' output in a format suitable for inclusion
  17 in release announcements. Each commit will be grouped by author and title.
  18
  19 Additionally, "[PATCH]" will be stripped from the commit description.
  20
  21 If no revisions are passed on the command line and either standard input
  22 is not a terminal or there is no current branch, 'git shortlog' will
  23 output a summary of the log read from standard input, without
  24 reference to the current repository.
  25
  26 OPTIONS
  27 -------
  28
  29 -n::
  30 --numbered::
  31         Sort output according to the number of commits per author instead
  32         of author alphabetic order.
  33
  34 -s::
  35 --summary::
  36         Suppress commit description and provide a commit count summary only.
  37
  38 -e::
  39 --email::
  40         Show the email address of each author.
  41
  42 --format[=<format>]::
  43         Instead of the commit subject, use some other information to
  44         describe each commit.  '<format>' can be any string accepted
  45         by the `--format` option of 'git log', such as '* [%h] %s'.
  46         (See the "PRETTY FORMATS" section of linkgit:git-log[1].)
  47
  48         Each pretty-printed commit will be rewrapped before it is shown.
  49
  50 -c::
  51 --committer::
  52         Collect and show committer identities instead of authors.
  53
  54 -w[<width>[,<indent1>[,<indent2>]]]::
  55         Linewrap the output by wrapping each line at `width`.  The first
  56         line of each entry is indented by `indent1` spaces, and the second
  57         and subsequent lines are indented by `indent2` spaces. `width`,
  58         `indent1`, and `indent2` default to 76, 6 and 9 respectively.
  59 +
  60 If width is `0` (zero) then indent the lines of the output without wrapping
  61 them.
  62
  63 <revision range>::
  64         Show only commits in the specified revision range.  When no
  65         <revision range> is specified, it defaults to `HEAD` (i.e. the
  66         whole history leading to the current commit).  `origin..HEAD`
  67         specifies all the commits reachable from the current commit
  68         (i.e. `HEAD`), but not from `origin`. For a complete list of
  69         ways to spell <revision range>, see the "Specifying Ranges"
  70         section of linkgit:gitrevisions[7].
  71
  72 [--] <path>...::
  73         Consider only commits that are enough to explain how the files
  74         that match the specified paths came to be.
  75 +
  76 Paths may need to be prefixed with `--` to separate them from
  77 options or the revision range, when confusion arises.
  78
  79 MAPPING AUTHORS
  80 ---------------
  81
  82 The `.mailmap` feature is used to coalesce together commits by the same
  83 person in the shortlog, where their name and/or email address was
  84 spelled differently.
