Question

How do you view the commit history in Git?

I'm new to Git and trying to understand how to view the commit history for my project. I’ve heard there are multiple ways to do this, but I'm not sure which commands to use. Can someone explain how to view the commit history in a Git repository, including basic details like commit messages, authors, and timestamps? Any examples or tips would be helpful

Answer 1

To display commit history with full messages:

git log

For a more compact log:

git log –oneline
