Git Commit History Flags

In order to output the commit history in a shortened form, with only the parameters we need, special flags can be added to the log command:

Flag	Description
-p	Shows the difference in changes for each commit.
--stat	Displays statistics for a commit.
--shortstat	Shows the number of changes/inserts/deletions when using the --stat command.
--name-only	Displays commit information and names of changed files.
--name-status	Displays a message listing the files that were changed, including additions and deletions.
--relative-date	Displays the date the changes were applied in relative format (e.g. '1 day ago').
--pretty	Changes the format of the commit history output: =oneline in one line, =full - full and =short - short output.
--graph	Shows the branching of Git branches and their merge history.
