This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.
Show textual diffs, instead of the git internal diff output format that is useful only to tell the changed paths and their nature of changes.
Limit output to <n> commits.
Limit output to between the two named commits (bottom exclusive, top inclusive).
Show git internal diff output, but for the whole tree, not just the top level.
Controls the output format for the commit logs. <format> can be one of raw, medium, short, full, and oneline.
