- Show the sequence of commits starting from the current one, in reverse chronological order:

`git log`

- Show the history of a particular file or directory, including differences:

`git log -p {{path/to/file_or_directory}}`

- Show only the first line of each commit message:

`git log --oneline`

- Show an overview of which file(s) changed in each commit:

`git log --stat`

- Show a graph of commits in the current branch:

`git log --graph`

- Show a graph of all commits, tags and branches in the entire repo:

`git log --oneline --decorate --all --graph`

Refactor: add missing `or_directory` where needed. This commit adds the missing `_or_directory` to any example which is specifying an action affecting a file or a directory, but uses the token `{{path/to/file}}` instead of `{{path/to/file_or_directory}}`. 2019-02-08 00:31:19 +00:00			`git log -p {{path/to/file_or_directory}}`
