Shows commit logs


git2cpp log [OPTIONS]


OPTIONS:
  -h,     --help              Print this help message and exit
          --format TEXT       Pretty-print the contents of the commit logs in a given format,
                              where <format> can be one of full, fuller or oneline
  -n,     --max-count INT     Limit the output to <number> commits.
          --abbrev-commit     Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object
                              name, show a prefix that names the object uniquely. --abbrev=<n>
                              (which also modifies diff output, if it is displayed) option can
                              be used to specify the minimum length of the prefix.
          --abbrev UINT       Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal object name in
                              diff-raw format output and diff-tree header lines, show the
                              shortest prefix that is at least <n> hexdigits long that uniquely
                              refers the object.
          --no-abbrev-commit  Show the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object name. This
                              negates --abbrev-commit, either explicit or implied by other
                              options such as --oneline.
          --oneline           This is a shorthand for --format=oneline --abbrev-commit used
                              together.
