Overview

Lists commit objects in reverse chronological order, starting with a given commit(s). The command follows the parent links and displays the commits that are reachable - and exclude commits that are reachable from the commits that are specified with a ^ in front of them. The output is given in reverse chronological order by default. Various options and path parameters can be used to further limit the output.

For example:

git rev-list commit1 commit2 ^commit3

means "list all commits reachable from commit1 and commit2 but not from commit3.

The commits can be specified using their hash, a branch name, etc.

Commit Limiting

-<number>, -n <number>, --max-count=<number>

Limit the number of commits to output.

--since, --after

Show commits more recent than a specific date:

git rev-list --since=TODO

--until, --before

Show commits older than a specific date:

--before=TODO
--before="@{7.days.ago}"

Examples

git rev-list -1 --before="@{7.days.ago}" task/feature1
