Git Log Options

git log is a command in Git that shows the commit history of your repository. It provides a detailed view of all commits, including their hashes, authors, dates, and messages.

Here are some common git log options:

• -2: Only show the last two commits.
• -- <file-name>: Show the commits that modified a specific file.
• --all: Show all branches in the repository.
• --graph: Display the commit history as a graph.
• --pretty: Enable clean colorized output.
• --no-color: Disable colorized output.
• --stat: Show a statistical summary of changes.
• **-S: Only show commits with modified files.

You can combine these options to tailor your log output to suit your needs.

For example, git log -2 --graph will display the last two commits in graph form.
