Git - pretty one line log

A regular log on git looks like the following:

commit 5555663340c8007cf73f34ccb2593a301fcc8
Author: Mariz Melo <mm AT emoriz.com>
Date:   Sat Oct 13 22:17:43 2012 -0700
first commit

But sometimes you only want to see your log messages, in this case you can use the following command:

$ git log --pretty=oneline

The result will be something like this:

$ 5555663340c8007cf73f34ccb2593a301fcc8   first commit

or as @koraktor pointed out:

$ git log --oneline

will show:

$ 55556633 first commit

Happy hacking!
