Common Mistakes

Using 'git status' which shows current changes, not history.

Common Mistakes

Using '--format=oneline' which is incorrect syntax here.

Using '--one=oneline' which is not a valid option.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using words like 'three' instead of digits.

Using '-3' which is not the correct syntax here.

Using 'last' which is not recognized.

The -n option expects a number, so 3 is correct.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'format' instead of 'pretty' for the first blank.

Using 'date' instead of 'author' for the second blank.

Confusing the placeholders with option names.

The --pretty option formats output; %h is short hash, %ad is date, and %an would be author but here author is used as a label.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'decorate' instead of 'all' to show all branches.

Mixing up the order of options.

Using options that don't combine well.

--graph shows commit history as a graph, --oneline shows each commit in one line, and --all shows commits from all branches.
