Log#

git log is a command that allows you to check some information about:

  • Commits history;

  • Commit HEAD refer to;

  • Which commits brunches refres to.

oneline#

git log --oneline allows you to get information about each commit in just one line, without any extra information.

So the following example shows the difference - git log without --oneline and with it, used for repositories with few commits.

%%bash
mkdir log_examples
cd log_examples
git init &> /dev/null


for i in {1..5}
do
  echo "Line $i" >> file
  git add file
  git commit -m "Line $i added" &> /dev/null
done

echo "=====git log====="
git log
echo
echo "=====git log --oneline====="
git log --oneline

cd ..
rm -r log_examples
