STG-LOG(1)

💅 STG-LOG(1) — the StGit Manual, bestie edition 💅

okay so you're looking at stg-log from the StGit manual — yes, that StGit — and honestly? she's giving history-keeper realness. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

stg-log — display or optionally clear the stack changelog 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

stg log [OPTIONS] [--] [patch]...
stg log --clear

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So stg-log shows you the history of changes to the stack. Literally the receipts of your stack's glow-up journey 💖

If you give it one or more patch names, it only shows the changes affecting those patches. like, filter by main character, periodt.

The stg-undo(1) and stg-redo(1) commands may be used to step back and forth through historical stack states. cute lil time machine energy ⏳✨ The stg-reset(1) command may be used to reset the stack directly to a historic state — skipping the stepping, going straight to the vibe.

The --clear option may be used to delete the stack's change history. Undo and redo are unavailable on a stack without change history. Clearing the stack state history cannot be undone 😭💀 — like, not "oops undo" cannot be undone. it is gone gone. no cap.

bestie warning: --clear deletes the stack's change history, and clearing the stack state history cannot be undone. undo and redo will be unavailable on a stack without change history. protect your history like you protect your peace 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -b <branch>, --branch=<branch> — use <branch> instead of the current branch. not me cheating on my current branch, but okay 💅
• -d, --diff — show stack state diffs. the before-and-after pics of your stack 📸
• -n <n>, --number=<n> — limit output to <n> commits. portion control, bestie 🍓
• -f, --full — show using the full commit log format. full glam, no cropping 👑
• -g, --graphical — run gitk instead of printing to stdout. we're going GUI mode, iconic behavior 🖥️✨
• --clear — clear the stack history. this is the big red button, and it is not reversible. undo and redo are unavailable on a stack without change history. proceed with main character confidence and also caution 💀🔥
