I'm looking to gather commit information between 2 git commits and I used the below command 

$ git log --pretty=format:"%cn committed %h on %cd description %B files" --name-only 8ce980e ^99214db

and the output is below

DevTools App User committed 8ce980e on Mon Jun 6 09:09:28 2016 -0400 description Released Build version ${env.MAJOR_VERSION}.${env.MINOR_VERSION}.102

 files

Problem is - commit ID previous to 99214db i.e c165306 is getting displayed excluding the commit ID 99214db. I want the commit ID 99214db and its associated details also to be displayed.

Please help me where I'm wrong .Thanks.

^99214db means --not (git log): it excludes commits that are reachable from 99214db (including 99214db itself)

It would be easier to list all between 99214db and 8ce980e:

git log 8ce980e...99214db~

(see "What are the differences between double-dot ".." and triple-dot "..." in Git diff commit ranges?")

  • : Thanks for your input. I modified my command as per your suggestion, as below git log --pretty=format:"%cn committed %h on %cd description %B files" --name-only 99214db 8ce980e instead of giving commit information b/n those range , its giving additional commit information too – voltas Oct 18 '16 at 07:33
  • @voltas yes, that is why I posted the picture about log range. Do you see the right commits at least? – VonC Oct 18 '16 at 07:34
  • If I want to restrict the information b/n 8ce980e and 99214db. How can I get it ? Thanks – voltas Oct 18 '16 at 07:35
  • I can see the entire commit ranges , from beginning to end , but I would like to restrict it between 8ce980e and 99214db and its associated commit details. Would like to take ur expertise here – voltas Oct 18 '16 at 07:44
