DESCRIPTION |
|
----------- |
|
|
|
Lists commit objects in reverse chronological order starting at the |
|
given commit(s), taking ancestry relationship into account. This is |
|
useful to produce human-readable log output. |
|
|
|
Commits which are stated with a preceding '{caret}' cause listing to |
|
stop at that point. Their parents are implied. Thus the following |
|
command: |
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
$ git-rev-list foo bar ^baz |
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
|
means "list all the commits which are included in 'foo' and 'bar', but |
|
not in 'baz'". |
|
|
|
A special notation "'<commit1>'..'<commit2>'" can be used as a |
|
short-hand for "{caret}'<commit1>' '<commit2>'". For example, either of |
|
the following may be used interchangeably: |
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
$ git-rev-list origin..HEAD |
|
$ git-rev-list HEAD ^origin |
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
|
Another special notation is "'<commit1>'...'<commit2>'" which is useful |
|
for merges. The resulting set of commits is the symmetric difference |
|
between the two operands. The following two commands are equivalent: |
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
$ git-rev-list A B --not $(git-merge-base --all A B) |
|
$ git-rev-list A...B |
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
|
gitlink:git-rev-list[1] is a very essential git program, since it |
|
provides the ability to build and traverse commit ancestry graphs. For |
|
this reason, it has a lot of different options that enables it to be |
|
used by commands as different as gitlink:git-bisect[1] and |
|
gitlink:git-repack[1]. |
|
|
|
OPTIONS |
|
------- |
|
|
|
Commit Formatting |
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
|
|
|
Using these options, gitlink:git-rev-list[1] will act similar to the |
|
more specialized family of commit log tools: gitlink:git-log[1], |
|
gitlink:git-show[1], and gitlink:git-whatchanged[1] |
|
|
|
include::pretty-options.txt[] |
|
|
|
--relative-date:: |
|
|
|
Synonym for `--date=relative`. |
|
|
|
--date={relative,local,default,iso,rfc}:: |
|
|
|
Only takes effect for dates shown in human-readable format, such |
|
as when using "--pretty". |
|
+ |
|
`--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=default` shows timestamps in the original timezone |
|
(either committer's or author's). |
|
|
|
--header:: |
|
|
|
Print the contents of the commit in raw-format; each record is |
|
separated with a NUL character. |
|
|
|
--parents:: |
|
|
|
Print the parents of the commit. |
|
|
|
--timestamp:: |
|
Print the raw commit timestamp. |
|
|
|
--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 line this: |
|
+ |
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
$ git rev-list --left-right --boundary --pretty=oneline A...B |
|
|
|
>bbbbbbb... 3rd on b |
|
>bbbbbbb... 2nd on b |
|
<aaaaaaa... 3rd on a |
|
<aaaaaaa... 2nd on a |
|
-yyyyyyy... 1st on b |
|
-xxxxxxx... 1st on a |
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
|
Diff Formatting |
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
|
|
|
Below are listed options that control the formatting of diff output. |
|
Some of them are specific to gitlink:git-rev-list[1], however other diff |
|
options may be given. See gitlink:git-diff-files[1] for more options. |
|
|
|
-c:: |
|
|
|
This flag changes the way a merge commit is displayed. It 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 hunks that show differences from only |
|
one parent, or show the same change from all but one parent for |
|
an Octopus merge. |
|
|
|
-r:: |
|
|
|
Show recursive diffs. |
|
|
|
-t:: |
|
|
|
Show the tree objects in the diff output. This implies '-r'. |
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
-- |
|
|
|
-n 'number', --max-count='number':: |
|
|
|
Limit the number of commits output. |
|
|
|
--skip='number':: |
|
|
|
Skip 'number' commits before starting to show the commit output. |
|
|
|
--since='date', --after='date':: |
|
|
|
Show commits more recent than a specific date. |
|
|
|
--until='date', --before='date':: |
|
|
|
Show commits older than a specific date. |
|
|
|
--max-age='timestamp', --min-age='timestamp':: |
|
|
|
Limit the commits output to specified time range. |
|
|
|
--author='pattern', --committer='pattern':: |
|
|
|
Limit the commits output to ones with author/committer |
|
header lines that match the specified pattern (regular expression). |
|
|
|
--grep='pattern':: |
|
|
|
Limit the commits output to ones with log message that |
|
matches the specified pattern (regular expression). |
|
|
|
-i, --regexp-ignore-case:: |
|
|
|
Match the regexp limiting patterns without regard to letters case. |
|
|
|
-E, --extended-regexp:: |
|
|
|
Consider the limiting patterns to be extended regular expressions |
|
instead of the default basic regular expressions. |
|
|
|
--remove-empty:: |
|
|
|
Stop when a given path disappears from the tree. |
|
|
|
--full-history:: |
|
|
|
Show also parts of history irrelevant to current state of a given |
|
path. This turns off history simplification, which removed merges |
|
which didn't change anything at all at some child. It will still actually |
|
simplify away merges that didn't change anything at all into either |
|
child. |
|
|
|
--no-merges:: |
|
|
|
Do not print commits with more than one parent. |
|
|
|
--not:: |
|
|
|
Reverses the meaning of the '{caret}' prefix (or lack thereof) |
|
for all following revision specifiers, up to the next '--not'. |
|
|
|
--all:: |
|
|
|
Pretend as if all the refs in `$GIT_DIR/refs/` are listed on the |
|
command line as '<commit>'. |
|
|
|
--stdin:: |
|
|
|
In addition to the '<commit>' listed on the command |
|
line, read them from the standard input. |
|
|
|
--cherry-pick:: |
|
|
|
Omit any commit that introduces the same change as |
|
another commit on the "other side" when the set of |
|
commits are limited with symmetric difference. |
|
+ |
|
For example, if you have two branches, `A` and `B`, a usual way |
|
to list all commits on only one side of them is with |
|
`--left-right`, like the example above in the description of |
|
that option. It however shows the commits that were cherry-picked |
|
from the other branch (for example, "3rd on b" may be cherry-picked |
|
from branch A). With this option, such pairs of commits are |
|
excluded from the output. |
|
|
|
-g, --walk-reflogs:: |
|
|
|
Instead of walking the commit ancestry chain, walk |
|
reflog entries from the most recent one to older ones. |
|
When this option is used you cannot specify commits to |
|
exclude (that is, '{caret}commit', 'commit1..commit2', |
|
nor 'commit1...commit2' notations cannot be used). |
|
+ |
|
With '\--pretty' format other than oneline (for obvious reasons), |
|
this causes the output to have two extra lines of information |
|
taken from the reflog. By default, 'commit@\{Nth}' notation is |
|
used in the output. When the starting commit is specified as |
|
'commit@{now}', output also uses 'commit@\{timestamp}' notation |
|
instead. Under '\--pretty=oneline', the commit message is |
|
prefixed with this information on the same line. |
|
|
|
Cannot be combined with '\--reverse'. |
|
|
|
--merge:: |
|
|
|
After a failed merge, show refs that touch files having a |
|
conflict and don't exist on all heads to merge. |
|
|
|
--boundary:: |
|
|
|
Output uninteresting commits at the boundary, which are usually |
|
not shown. |
|
|
|
--dense, --sparse:: |
|
|
|
When optional paths are given, the default behaviour ('--dense') is to |
|
only output commits that changes at least one of them, and also ignore |
|
merges that do not touch the given paths. |
|
|
|
Use the '--sparse' flag to makes the command output all eligible commits |
|
(still subject to count and age limitation), but apply merge |
|
simplification nevertheless. |
|
|
|
--bisect:: |
|
|
|
Limit output to the one commit object which is roughly halfway between |
|
the included and excluded commits. Thus, if |
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
$ git-rev-list --bisect foo ^bar ^baz |
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
|
outputs 'midpoint', the output of the two commands |
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
$ git-rev-list foo ^midpoint |
|
$ git-rev-list midpoint ^bar ^baz |
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
|
would be of roughly the same length. Finding the change which |
|
introduces a regression is thus reduced to a binary search: repeatedly |
|
generate and test new 'midpoint's until the commit chain is of length |
|
one. |
|
|
|
--bisect-vars:: |
|
|
|
This calculates the same as `--bisect`, but outputs text ready |
|
to be eval'ed by the shell. These lines will assign the name of |
|
the midpoint revision to the variable `bisect_rev`, and the |
|
expected number of commits to be tested after `bisect_rev` is |
|
tested to `bisect_nr`, the expected number of commits to be |
|
tested if `bisect_rev` turns out to be good to `bisect_good`, |
|
the expected number of commits to be tested if `bisect_rev` |
|
turns out to be bad to `bisect_bad`, and the number of commits |
|
we are bisecting right now to `bisect_all`. |
|
|
|
--bisect-all:: |
|
|
|
This outputs all the commit objects between the included and excluded |
|
commits, ordered by their distance to the included and excluded |
|
commits. The farthest from them is displayed first. (This is the only |
|
one displayed by `--bisect`.) |
|
|
|
This is useful because it makes it easy to choose a good commit to |
|
test when you want to avoid to test some of them for some reason (they |
|
may not compile for example). |
|
|
|
This option can be used along with `--bisect-vars`, in this case, |
|
after all the sorted commit objects, there will be the same text as if |
|
`--bisect-vars` had been used alone. |
|
|
|
-- |
|
|
|
Commit Ordering |
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
|
|
|
By default, the commits are shown in reverse chronological order. |
|
|
|
--topo-order:: |
|
|
|
This option makes them appear in topological order (i.e. |
|
descendant commits are shown before their parents). |
|
|
|
--date-order:: |
|
|
|
This option is similar to '--topo-order' in the sense that no |
|
parent comes before all of its children, but otherwise things |
|
are still ordered in the commit timestamp order. |
|
|
|
--reverse:: |
|
|
|
Output the commits in reverse order. |
|
Cannot be combined with '\--walk-reflogs'. |
|
|
|
Object Traversal |
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
|
|
|
These options are mostly targeted for packing of git repositories. |
|
|
|
--objects:: |
|
|
|
Print the object IDs of any object referenced by the listed |
|
commits. 'git-rev-list --objects foo ^bar' thus means "send me |
|
all object IDs which I need to download if I have the commit |
|
object 'bar', but not 'foo'". |
|
|
|
--objects-edge:: |
|
|
|
Similar to '--objects', but also print the IDs of excluded |
|
commits prefixed with a "-" character. This is used by |
|
gitlink:git-pack-objects[1] to build "thin" pack, which records |
|
objects in deltified form based on objects contained in these |
|
excluded commits to reduce network traffic. |
|
|
|
--unpacked:: |
|
|
|
Only useful with '--objects'; print the object IDs that are not |
|
in packs. |
|
|
|
--no-walk:: |
|
|
|
Only show the given revs, but do not traverse their ancestors. |
|
|
|
--do-walk:: |
|
|
|
Overrides a previous --no-walk. |
