How can I show a Git log output with (at least) the following information?
I want it compressed to one line per log entry. What's the shortest possible format for that?
(I tried --format=oneline
, but that does not show the date.)
git log --pretty=format:"%h%x09%an%x09%ad%x09%s"
does the job. This outputs:

It was inspired by Stack Overflow question: "Git log output like 'svn ls -v
'". I found out that I could add the exact parameters I needed.
To shorten the date (not showing the time), use --date=short
.
In case you were curious what the different options were:
%h
= abbreviated commit hash%x09
= tab (character for code 9)%an
= author name%ad
= author date (format respects --date= option)%s
= subjectIt is from git-log(1) Manual Page (PRETTY FORMATS section) by the comment of Vivek.
