Each commit will be grouped by author and title. + +Additionally, "[PATCH]" will be stripped from the commit description. + +If no revisions are passed on the command line and either standard input +is not a terminal or there is no current branch, 'git shortlog' will +output a summary of the log read from standard input, without +reference to the current repository. + +OPTIONS +------- + +-n:: +--numbered:: + Sort output according to the number of commits per author instead + of author alphabetic order. + +-s:: +--summary:: + Suppress commit description and provide a commit count summary only. + +-e:: +--email:: + Show the email address of each author. + +--format[=<format>]:: + Instead of the commit subject, use some other information to + describe each commit. '<format>' can be any string accepted + by the `--format` option of 'git log', such as '* [%h] %s'. + (See the "PRETTY FORMATS" section of linkgit:git-log[1].) + + Each pretty-printed commit will be rewrapped before it is shown. + +--group=<type>:: + Group commits based on `<type>`. If no `--group` option is + specified, the default is `author`. `<type>` is one of: ++ +-- + - `author`, commits are grouped by author + - `committer`, commits are grouped by committer (the same as `-c`) + - `trailer:<field>`, the `<field>` is interpreted as a case-insensitive + commit message trailer (see linkgit:git-interpret-trailers[1]). For + example, if your project uses `Reviewed-by` trailers, you might want + to see who has been reviewing with + `git shortlog -ns --group=trailer:reviewed-by`. ++ +Note that commits that do not include the trailer will not be counted. +Likewise, commits with multiple trailers (e.g., multiple signoffs) may +be counted more than once (but only once per unique trailer value in +that commit). ++ +Shortlog will attempt to parse each trailer value as a `name <email>` +identity. If successful, the mailmap is applied and the email is omitted +unless the `--email` option is specified. If the value cannot be parsed +as an identity, it will be taken literally and completely. +-- ++ +If `--group` is specified multiple times, commits are counted under each +value (but again, only once per unique value in that commit). For +example, `git shortlog --group=author --group=trailer:co-authored-by` +counts both authors and co-authors. + +-c:: +--committer:: + This is an alias for `--group=committer`. + +-w[<width>[,<indent1>[,<indent2>]]]:: + Linewrap the output by wrapping each line at `width`. The first + line of each entry is indented by `indent1` spaces, and the second + and subsequent lines are indented by `indent2` spaces. `width`, + `indent1`, and `indent2` default to 76, 6 and 9 respectively. ++ +If width is `0` (zero) then indent the lines of the output without wrapping +them. + +<revision range>:: + Show only commits in the specified revision range. When no + <revision range> is specified, it defaults to `HEAD` (i.e. the + whole history leading to the current commit). `origin..HEAD` + specifies all the commits reachable from the current commit + (i.e. `HEAD`), but not from `origin`. For a complete list of + ways to spell <revision range>, see the "Specifying Ranges" + section of linkgit:gitrevisions[7]. + +[--] <path>...:: + Consider only commits that are enough to explain how the files + that match the specified paths came to be. ++ +Paths may need to be prefixed with `--` to separate them from +options or the revision range, when confusion arises. + +:git-shortlog: 1 +include::rev-list-options.txt[] + +MAPPING AUTHORS +--------------- + +The `.mailmap` feature is used to coalesce together commits by the same +person in the shortlog, where their name and/or email address was +spelled differently. + +include::mailmap.txt[] + +GIT +--- +Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite |
