linkgit:git-show[1], and linkgit:git-whatchanged[1]
endif::git-rev-list[]
include::pretty-options.txt[]
--relative-date::
Synonym for `--date=relative`.
--date=(relative|local|default|iso|rfc|short|raw)::
Only takes effect for dates shown in human-readable format, such
as when using "--pretty". `log.date` config variable sets a default
value for log command's --date option.
+
`--date=relative` shows dates relative to the current time,
e.g. "2 hours ago".
+
`--date=local` shows timestamps in user's local timezone.
+
`--date=iso` (or `--date=iso8601`) shows timestamps in ISO 8601 format.
+
`--date=rfc` (or `--date=rfc2822`) shows timestamps in RFC 2822
format, often found in E-mail messages.
+
`--date=short` shows only date but not time, in `YYYY-MM-DD` format.
+
`--date=raw` shows the date in the internal raw git format `%s %z` format.
+
`--date=default` shows timestamps in the original timezone
(either committer's or author's).
ifdef::git-rev-list[]
--header::
Print the contents of the commit in raw-format; each record is
separated with a NUL character.
endif::git-rev-list[]
--parents::
Print also the parents of the commit (in the form "commit parent...").
Also enables parent rewriting, see 'History Simplification' below.
--children::
Print also the children of the commit (in the form "commit child...").
Also enables parent rewriting, see 'History Simplification' below.
ifdef::git-rev-list[]
--timestamp::
Print the raw commit timestamp.
endif::git-rev-list[]
--left-right::
Mark which side of a symmetric diff a commit is reachable from.
Commits from the left side are prefixed with `<` and those from
the right with `>`. If combined with `--boundary`, those
commits are prefixed with `-`.
+
For example, if you have this topology:
+
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
y---b---b branch B
/ \ /
/ .
/ / \
o---x---a---a branch A

you would get an output like this:

--graph::
Draw a text-based graphical representation of the commit history
on the left hand side of the output. This may cause extra lines
to be printed in between commits, in order for the graph history
to be drawn properly.
+
This enables parent rewriting, see 'History Simplification' below.

This implies the '--topo-order' option by default, but the
'--date-order' option may also be specified.
ifdef::git-rev-list[]
--count::
Print a number stating how many commits would have been
listed, and suppress all other output. When used together
with '--left-right', instead print the counts for left and
right commits, separated by a tab.

Diff Formatting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Below are listed options that control the formatting of diff output.
Some of them are specific to linkgit:git-rev-list[1], however other diff
options may be given. See linkgit:git-diff-files[1] for more options.
-c::
With this option, diff output for a merge commit
shows the differences from each of the parents to the merge result
simultaneously instead of showing pairwise diff between a parent
and the result one at a time. Furthermore, it lists only files
which were modified from all parents.
--cc::
This flag implies the '-c' options and further compresses the
patch output by omitting uninteresting hunks whose contents in
the parents have only two variants and the merge result picks
one of them without modification.
-m::
This flag makes the merge commits show the full diff like
regular commits; for each merge parent, a separate log entry
and diff is generated. An exception is that only diff against
the first parent is shown when '--first-parent' option is given;
in that case, the output represents the changes the merge
brought _into_ the then-current branch.
-r::
Show recursive diffs.
-t::
Show the tree objects in the diff output. This implies '-r'.
-s::
Suppress diff output.
endif::git-rev-list[]
Commit Limiting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Besides specifying a range of commits that should be listed using the
special notations explained in the description, additional commit
limiting may be applied.
limiting may be applied. Note that they are applied before commit
ordering and formatting options, such as '--reverse'.
