git log -p
Show the commit log with its diff
By using the -p
flag (for "patch"), this command displays the actual changes made in each commit, allowing you to review the differences introduced by each commit in detail.
Possible variations include:
- Using the
--stat
flag instead of-p
to display detailed statistics about the changes introduced in each commit. - Adding the
--graph
flag to include an ASCII art representation of the commit history graph and the branch names. - Using the
--pretty=format
flag to customize the log output format in various ways, such as specifying placeholders for commit details. - Specifying a limit to the number of commits displayed, using the
-n
or--max-count
flag followed by the desired number of commits to show.
