This line begins with +"Merge: " and the hashes of ancestral commits are printed, +separated by spaces. Note that the listed commits may not +necessarily be the list of the *direct* parent commits if you +have limited your view of history: for example, if you are +only interested in changes related to a certain directory or +file. + +There are several built-in formats, and you can define +additional formats by setting a pretty.<name> +config option to either another format name, or a +'format:' string, as described below (see +linkgit:git-config[1]). Here are the details of the +built-in formats: + +* 'oneline' + + <hash> <title-line> ++ +This is designed to be as compact as possible. + +* 'short' + + commit <hash> + Author: <author> + + <title-line> + +* 'medium' + + commit <hash> + Author: <author> + Date: <author-date> + + <title-line> + + <full-commit-message> + +* 'full' + + commit <hash> + Author: <author> + Commit: <committer> + + <title-line> + + <full-commit-message> + +* 'fuller' + + commit <hash> + Author: <author> + AuthorDate: <author-date> + Commit: <committer> + CommitDate: <committer-date> + + <title-line> + + <full-commit-message> + +* 'reference' + + <abbrev-hash> (<title-line>, <short-author-date>) ++ +This format is used to refer to another commit in a commit message and +is the same as `--pretty='format:%C(auto)%h (%s, %ad)'`. By default, +the date is formatted with `--date=short` unless another `--date` option +is explicitly specified. As with any `format:` with format +placeholders, its output is not affected by other options like +`--decorate` and `--walk-reflogs`. + +* 'email' + + From <hash> <date> + From: <author> + Date: <author-date> + Subject: [PATCH] <title-line> + + <full-commit-message> + +* 'mboxrd' ++ +Like 'email', but lines in the commit message starting with "From " +(preceded by zero or more ">") are quoted with ">" so they aren't +confused as starting a new commit. + +* 'raw' ++ +The 'raw' format shows the entire commit exactly as +stored in the commit object. Notably, the hashes are +displayed in full, regardless of whether --abbrev or +--no-abbrev are used, and 'parents' information show the +true parent commits, without taking grafts or history +simplification into account. Note that this format affects the way +commits are displayed, but not the way the diff is shown e.g. with +`git log --raw`. To get full object names in a raw diff format, +use `--no-abbrev`. + +* 'format:<format-string>' ++ +The 'format:<format-string>' format allows you to specify which information +you want to show. It works a little bit like printf format, +with the notable exception that you get a newline with '%n' +instead of '\n'. ++ +E.g, 'format:"The author of %h was %an, %ar%nThe title was >>%s<<%n"' +would show something like this: ++ +------- +The author of fe6e0ee was Junio C Hamano, 23 hours ago +The title was >>t4119: test autocomputing -p<n> for traditional diff input.<< + +------- ++ +The placeholders are: + +- Placeholders that expand to a single literal character: +'%n':: newline +'%%':: a raw '%' +'%x00':: '%x' followed by two hexadecimal digits is replaced with a + byte with the hexadecimal digits' value (we will call this + "literal formatting code" in the rest of this document). + +- Placeholders that affect formatting of later placeholders: +'%Cred':: switch color to red +'%Cgreen':: switch color to green +'%Cblue':: switch color to blue +'%Creset':: reset color +'%C(...)':: color specification, as described under Values in the + "CONFIGURATION FILE" section of linkgit:git-config[1]. By + default, colors are shown only when enabled for log output + (by `color.diff`, `color.ui`, or `--color`, and respecting + the `auto` settings of the former if we are going to a + terminal). `%C(auto,...)` is accepted as a historical + synonym for the default (e.g., `%C(auto,red)`). Specifying + `%C(always,...)` will show the colors even when color is + not otherwise enabled (though consider just using + `--color=always` to enable color for the whole output, + including this format and anything else git might color). + `auto` alone (i.e. `%C(auto)`) will turn on auto coloring + on the next placeholders until the color is switched + again. +'%m':: left (`<`), right (`>`) or boundary (`-`) mark +'%w([<w>[,<i1>[,<i2>]]])':: switch line wrapping, like the -w option of + linkgit:git-shortlog[1]. +'%<( <N> [,trunc|ltrunc|mtrunc])':: make the next placeholder take at + least N column widths, padding spaces on + the right if necessary.

The `decorate` string may be followed by a +colon and zero or more comma-separated options. Option values may contain +literal formatting codes. These must be used for commas (`%x2C`) and closing +parentheses (`%x29`), due to their role in the option syntax. ++ +** 'prefix=<value>': Shown before the list of ref names. Defaults to "{nbsp}`(`". +** 'suffix=<value>': Shown after the list of ref names. Defaults to "`)`". +** 'separator=<value>': Shown between ref names. Defaults to "`,`{nbsp}". +** 'pointer=<value>': Shown between HEAD and the branch it points to, if any. + Defaults to "{nbsp}`->`{nbsp}". +** 'tag=<value>': Shown before tag names. Defaults to "`tag:`{nbsp}". + ++ +For example, to produce decorations with no wrapping +or tag annotations, and spaces as separators: ++ +`%(decorate:prefix=,suffix=,tag=,separator= )` + +'%(describe[:<options>])':: +human-readable name, like linkgit:git-describe[1]; empty string for +undescribable commits. The `describe` string may be followed by a colon and +zero or more comma-separated options. Descriptions can be inconsistent when +tags are added or removed at the same time. ++ +** 'tags[=<bool-value>]': Instead of only considering annotated tags, + consider lightweight tags as well. +** 'abbrev=<number>': Instead of using the default number of hexadecimal digits + (which will vary according to the number of objects in the repository with a + default of 7) of the abbreviated object name, use <number> digits, or as many + digits as needed to form a unique object name. +** 'match=<pattern>': Only consider tags matching the given + `glob(7)` pattern, excluding the "refs/tags/" prefix. +** 'exclude=<pattern>': Do not consider tags matching the given + `glob(7)` pattern, excluding the "refs/tags/" prefix. + +'%S':: ref name given on the command line by which the commit was reached + (like `git log --source`), only works with `git log` +'%e':: encoding +'%s':: subject +'%f':: sanitized subject line, suitable for a filename +'%b':: body +'%B':: raw body (unwrapped subject and body) +ifndef::git-rev-list[] +'%N':: commit notes +endif::git-rev-list[] +'%GG':: raw verification message from GPG for a signed commit +'%G?':: show "G" for a good (valid) signature, + "B" for a bad signature, + "U" for a good signature with unknown validity, + "X" for a good signature that has expired, + "Y" for a good signature made by an expired key, + "R" for a good signature made by a revoked key, + "E" if the signature cannot be checked (e.g. missing key) + and "N" for no signature +'%GS':: show the name of the signer for a signed commit +'%GK':: show the key used to sign a signed commit +'%GF':: show the fingerprint of the key used to sign a signed commit +'%GP':: show the fingerprint of the primary key whose subkey was used + to sign a signed commit +'%GT':: show the trust level for the key used to sign a signed commit +'%gD':: reflog selector, e.g., `refs/stash@{1}` or `refs/stash@{2 + minutes ago}`; the format follows the rules described for the + `-g` option. The portion before the `@` is the refname as + given on the command line (so `git log -g refs/heads/master` + would yield `refs/heads/master@{0}`). +'%gd':: shortened reflog selector; same as `%gD`, but the refname + portion is shortened for human readability (so + `refs/heads/master` becomes just `master`). +'%gn':: reflog identity name +'%gN':: reflog identity name (respecting .mailmap, see + linkgit:git-shortlog[1] or linkgit:git-blame[1]) +'%ge':: reflog identity email +'%gE':: reflog identity email (respecting .mailmap, see + linkgit:git-shortlog[1] or linkgit:git-blame[1]) +'%gs':: reflog subject +'%(trailers[:<options>])':: +display the trailers of the body as interpreted by +linkgit:git-interpret-trailers[1]. The `trailers` string may be followed by +a colon and zero or more comma-separated options. If any option is provided +multiple times, the last occurrence wins. ++ +** 'key=<key>': only show trailers with specified <key>. Matching is done + case-insensitively and trailing colon is optional. If option is + given multiple times trailer lines matching any of the keys are + shown. This option automatically enables the `only` option so that + non-trailer lines in the trailer block are hidden. If that is not + desired it can be disabled with `only=false`. E.g., + `%(trailers:key=Reviewed-by)` shows trailer lines with key + `Reviewed-by`. +** 'only[=<bool>]': select whether non-trailer lines from the trailer + block should be included. +** 'separator=<sep>': specify a separator inserted between trailer + lines. When this option is not given each trailer line is + terminated with a line feed character. The string <sep> may contain + the literal formatting codes described above. To use comma as + separator one must use `%x2C` as it would otherwise be parsed as + next option. E.g., `%(trailers:key=Ticket,separator=%x2C )` + shows all trailer lines whose key is "Ticket" separated by a comma + and a space. +** 'unfold[=<bool>]': make it behave as if interpret-trailer's `--unfold` + option was given. E.g., + `%(trailers:only,unfold=true)` unfolds and shows all trailer lines. +** 'keyonly[=<bool>]': only show the key part of the trailer. +** 'valueonly[=<bool>]': only show the value part of the trailer. +** 'key_value_separator=<sep>': specify a separator inserted between + trailer lines. When this option is not given each trailer key-value + pair is separated by ": ". Otherwise it shares the same semantics + as 'separator=<sep>' above. + +NOTE: Some placeholders may depend on other options given to the +revision traversal engine. For example, the `%g*` reflog options will +insert an empty string unless we are traversing reflog entries (e.g., by +`git log -g`). The `%d` and `%D` placeholders will use the "short" +decoration format if `--decorate` was not already provided on the command +line. + +The boolean options accept an optional value `[=<bool-value>]`. The values +`true`, `false`, `on`, `off` etc. are all accepted. See the "boolean" +sub-section in "EXAMPLES" in linkgit:git-config[1]. If a boolean +option is given with no value, it's enabled. + +If you add a `+` (plus sign) after '%' of a placeholder, a line-feed +is inserted immediately before the expansion if and only if the +placeholder expands to a non-empty string. + +If you add a `-` (minus sign) after '%' of a placeholder, all consecutive +line-feeds immediately preceding the expansion are deleted if and only if the +placeholder expands to an empty string. + +If you add a ` ` (space) after '%' of a placeholder, a space +is inserted immediately before the expansion if and only if the +placeholder expands to a non-empty string. + +* 'tformat:' ++ +The 'tformat:' format works exactly like 'format:', except that it +provides "terminator" semantics instead of "separator" semantics. In +other words, each commit has the message terminator character (usually a +newline) appended, rather than a separator placed between entries. +This means that the final entry of a single-line format will be properly +terminated with a new line, just as the "oneline" format does. +For example: ++ +--------------------- +$ git log -2 --pretty=format:%h 4da45bef \ + | perl -pe '$_ .= " -- NO NEWLINE\n" unless /\n/' +4da45be +7134973 -- NO NEWLINE + +$ git log -2 --pretty=tformat:%h 4da45bef \ + | perl -pe '$_ .= " -- NO NEWLINE\n" unless /\n/' +4da45be +7134973 +--------------------- ++ +In addition, any unrecognized string that has a `%` in it is interpreted +as if it has `tformat:` in front of it. For example, these two are +equivalent: ++ +--------------------- +$ git log -2 --pretty=tformat:%h 4da45bef +$ git log -2 --pretty=%h 4da45bef +--------------------- |
