πŸ’– GIT-COMMITS-SINCE β€” the git-extras page

okay so bestie, this is git-commits-since from Git Extras, and it's literally just "show me the commit log since some date." that's it. that's the whole vibe. πŸ¦‹

✨ NAME ✨

git-commits-since β€” Show commit logs since some date πŸ‘‘

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ngl the original page leaves this part blank (iconic of it), so here's the shape of it based on the options below:

git commits-since [<date>]
git commits-since -r <ref>
git commits-since --ref <ref>

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

It gives you a list of commits since the given date or ref. past you said "when?" and it says "say less." 🫢

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • <date> β€” Show commits more recent than <date>. and if you don't pass anything at all? no stress, it defaults to showing the commit logs since "last week". the default is doing the most so you don't have to πŸ’…
  • -r, --ref <ref> β€” Show commits since the given <ref> (that's a tag, a branch, or a commit, bestie β€” your pick). When you specify this, the command uses ref..HEAD instead of doing date-based filtering. so it switches lanes entirely πŸ”₯

πŸŽ€ EXAMPLES πŸŽ€

It is really flexible and these are only 3 of the options, go ahead give it a try:
