如何从特定提交打印/记录所有git commit消息？

Question

I need to print out all git messages from certain git commit to text file.

I've looked into answers here on Stackoverflow but couldn't find one that works for conditions I mention.

How to do that?

Answer 1

Git does not provide any utility to direct any of its output to a file.

Instead, like virtually all *nix tools, it uses the standard output streams for all of its output, allowing you to use traditional shell output redirection to redirect these streams to a file of your choice.

In Bash, to redirect the logs for a specific commit, you would use the > to direct standard output to a file:

git log <commit_id> > <output_file>

Answer 2

Use following command in git terminal:

git log --reverse --pretty=%s 487fc18... > ../log.txt

If you want to print all commits for "today" you can use command like:

git log --reverse --pretty=%s --since=midnight > ../log.txt
