Pretty-print the contents of the commit logs in a given format,
where '<format>' can be one of 'oneline', 'short', 'medium',

Note: you can specify the default pretty format in the repository
configuration (see linkgit:git-config[1]).
--no-abbrev-commit::
Show the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object name. This negates
`--abbrev-commit` and those options which imply it such as
- "--oneline". It also overrides the 'log.abbrevCommit' variable.

--oneline::
This is a shorthand for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit"
used together.
---encoding[=<encoding>]::
+--encoding=<encoding>::
The commit objects record the encoding used for the log message
in their encoding header; this option can be used to tell the
command to re-code the commit log message in the encoding
preferred by the user. For non plumbing commands this

+ in `X` and we are outputting in `X`, we will output the object
+ verbatim; this means that invalid sequences in the original
+ commit may be copied to the output.

+--expand-tabs=<n>::
+--expand-tabs::
+--no-expand-tabs::
+ Perform a tab expansion (replace each tab with enough spaces
+ to fill to the next display column that is multiple of '<n>')
+ in the log message before showing it in the output.
+ `--expand-tabs` is a short-hand for `--expand-tabs=8`, and
+ `--no-expand-tabs` is a short-hand for `--expand-tabs=0`,

++
+By default, tabs are expanded in pretty formats that indent the log
+message by 4 spaces (i.e. 'medium', which is the default, 'full',
+and 'fuller').

--notes[=<ref>]::
Show the notes (see linkgit:git-notes[1]) that annotate the
commit, when showing the commit log message. This is the default
for `git log`, `git show` and `git whatchanged` commands when
- there is no `--pretty`, `--format` nor `--oneline` option given
+ there is no `--pretty`, `--format`, or `--oneline` option given
on the command line.
+
By default, the notes shown are from the notes refs listed in the
-'core.notesRef' and 'notes.displayRef' variables (or corresponding
+`core.notesRef` and `notes.displayRef` variables (or corresponding
environment overrides). See linkgit:git-config[1] for more details.

-With an optional '<ref>' argument, show this notes ref instead of the
-default notes ref(s). The ref is taken to be in `refs/notes/` if it
-is not qualified.
+With an optional '<ref>' argument, use the ref to find the notes
+to display. The ref can specify the full refname when it begins
+with `refs/notes/`; when it begins with `notes/`, `refs/` and otherwise
+`refs/notes/` is prefixed to form a full name of the ref.
+
Multiple --notes options can be combined to control which notes are
being displayed. Examples: "--notes=foo" will show only notes from
--[no-]standard-notes::
These options are deprecated. Use the above --notes/--no-notes
options instead.
