Inspecting between two commits in local repo

Question

How can I display commits between two commits in the past in log of commits? I found this article useful.

But I cant understand the references/others. Can somebody make it clear to me, please?

I found that if for example, I want to inspect between last 3rd and 4th commits this is the command git log HEAD^2 -2

You need to clarify your question. You write: *How can I display commits between two commits [...]* Did you mean "differences between two commits"? — jub0bs, Apr 20 '15 at 15:25

git log takes a range of commits as an argument, so you could do git log commit1..commit2

@AliSaberi There are multiple ways of referring to commits other than by their full hashes, all explained in the following section of the Pro Git book: http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Revision-Selection. Read it. – jub0bs Apr 20 '15 at 15:37
