💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'one-line' instead of 'oneline' causes an error.

Using 'short' shows a brief log but not one line per commit.

The --oneline option shows each commit in a single line, making the log concise.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'full' or 'short' does not customize the output as needed.

Forgetting to include quotes around the format string causes errors.

The --pretty=format:"%h %s" option customizes the output to show the short commit hash and the commit message.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using single quotes inside double quotes can cause shell errors.

Omitting quotes around the format string causes syntax errors.

The correct syntax uses double quotes inside the format option: format:"%an %ad".

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using %H shows full hash instead of abbreviated.

Mixing author name (%an) instead of email (%ae).

The format:"%h %ae" option shows the short commit hash and author email.

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using --date=short or --date=relative changes the date format incorrectly.

Not including the --date option results in default date format.

Use --pretty=format:"%h %an %ad" to show hash, author, and date. The --date=iso option formats the date in ISO format.
