A few simple one-liners for generating git logs with commit messages

gitLogCommands.sh

# This gives a short-hash (%h), a simple date, and just the subject line of the commit
git log --format="%h | %ad | %s" --date=short 

# an alternative, which omits the date
git log --oneline

# the standard git log, which usually has way too much information to be useful
git log
