How to view commit logs in git?

To view the commit log of Git, you can use the “git log” command.

When you run ‘git log’, it will display all commit records starting from the most recent one, listed in chronological order. Each commit record includes the commit hash, author, commit date, and commit message.

Here are some common options for the git log command:

  1. git log -p: Display the specific changes made in each commit.
  2. The “git log –stat” command displays the changes made in each commit in a statistical format.
  3. Show the hash value and commit message of each commit in a concise one-line format using git log –oneline.
  4. Show only the commit entries made after a specific date using the –since= option in git log, where the date format can be “YYYY-MM-DD” or a relative date like “1 month ago”.
  5. Show only the commit log of the specified author.
  6. Show only the commit history for a specific branch using “git log “.

You can easily view Git commit logs using git log, just choose the appropriate command options as needed.
