I am trying to customize the format for git log. I want all commits to be shown in one line. Each line should only show the first line of the commit message.
I found out that git log --pretty=short should do the trick but on my computer it shows the full log as git log does (besides the time stamp).
Further, I tried to use the placeholders as defined in the man page. Though, I could not find a command to shorten the log message. I tried this line git log --pretty=format:'%h : %s' which shows the shorted hash %hand the full message %s in one line.
I am using git version 1.7.3.1.msysgit.0 on Vista.
Maybe it has something to do with the way I write my commit messages. Here is an example:
Added some functionality.
+ Added print function in Foo class.
+ Added conversion from foo to baz.
So, with the example given I only want to be output Added some functionality. prepended by the shortend hash.
