git-shortlog(1) =============== NAME ---- git-shortlog - Summarize 'git log' output SYNOPSIS -------- [verse] 'git shortlog' [<options>] [<revision range>] [[--] <path>...] git log --pretty=short | 'git shortlog' [<options>] DESCRIPTION ----------- Summarizes 'git log' output in a format suitable for inclusion in release announcements. Each commit will be grouped by author and title. Additionally, "[PATCH]" will be stripped from the commit description. If no revisions are passed on the command line and either standard input is not a terminal or there is no current branch, 'git shortlog' will output a summary of the log read from standard input, without reference to the current repository. OPTIONS ------- -n:: --numbered:: Sort output according to the number of commits per author instead of author alphabetic order. -s:: --summary:: Suppress commit description and provide a commit count summary only. -e:: --email:: Show the email address of each author. --format[=<format>]:: Instead of the commit subject, use some other information to describe each commit. '<format>' can be any string accepted by the `--format` option of 'git log', such as '* [%h] %s'. (See the "PRETTY FORMATS" section of linkgit:git-log[1].) Each pretty-printed commit will be rewrapped before it is shown. -c:: --committer:: Collect and show committer identities instead of authors. -w[<width>[,<indent1>[,<indent2>]]]:: Linewrap the output by wrapping each line at `width`. The first line of each entry is indented by `indent1` spaces, and the second and subsequent lines are indented by `indent2` spaces. `width`, `indent1`, and `indent2` default to 76, 6 and 9 respectively. + If width is `0` (zero) then indent the lines of the output without wrapping them. <revision range>:: Show only commits in the specified revision range. When no <revision range> is specified, it defaults to `HEAD` (i.e. the whole history leading to the current commit). `origin..HEAD` specifies all the commits reachable from the current commit (i.e. `HEAD`), but not from `origin`. For a complete list of ways to spell <revision range>, see the "Specifying Ranges" section of linkgit:gitrevisions[7]. [--] <path>...:: Consider only commits that are enough to explain how the files that match the specified paths came to be. + Paths may need to be prefixed with `--` to separate them from options or the revision range, when confusion arises. MAPPING AUTHORS --------------- The `.mailmap` feature is used to coalesce together commits by the same person in the shortlog, where their name and/or email address was spelled differently. include::mailmap.txt[] GIT --- Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite
