The “size” of a commit can mean different things. If you mean how much disk storage it takes up… that’s very tricky to tell in Git and probably unproductive. Whereas something like SVN stores commits as deltas, when you change a file in Git it stores a new copy of the file as an object … Read more
If you want to find all commits where the commit message contains a given word, use $ git log –grep=word If you want to find all commits where “word” was added or removed in the file contents (to be more exact: where the number of occurrences of “word” changed), i.e., search the commit contents, use … Read more
git log -10 Would show 10 latest commits matching the revision spec (a missing spec means “all commits”). See manpage: git help log section Commit Limiting -<number>, -n <number>, –max-count=<number> Limit the number of commits to output.

A revision is specified by its SHA1 hash. If you want to see commits for specific files, you have to separate paths with –: git log oldhash..newhash — path/to/inspect does this. Also note that you are using three dots (…) to specify the range. Usually, you only want two dots. Three dots might not give … Read more
Try: git log –oneline — ‘*.txt’ The — is used to indicate only positional arguments will follow. And ‘*.txt’ searches all folders from the current directory on down. Alternatively, you could limit the results by starting the search in a subdirectory, e.g. — ‘sub/*.txt’.
With Git 2.25 (Q1 2020), The implementation of “git log –graph” got refactored and then its output got simplified. That in turn can fix the color for some cases. The following provides an illustration on how colors and edges are managed with git log –graph. See commit d784d97 (12 Nov 2019) by Denton Liu (Denton-L). … Read more
git log –oneline –pretty=”@%h” –stat |grep -v \| | tr “\n” ” ” | tr “@” “\n” This will show something like this: a596f1e 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) 4a9a4a1 1 file changed, 6 deletions(-) b8325fd 1 file changed, 65 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) 968ef81 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-)

This gives a log of all commits between origin/master and HEAD: git log origin/master..HEAD When HEAD is on the master branch, this gives a log of unpushed commits. Similarly, to view the diff: git diff origin/master..HEAD
