How to print all the git commit message?

Question

I have a git repository, I can see all the commits in a particular branch using git log branch-name. But I want to print the commit message, author and date of all commits with respect to a particular branch on an HTML page. Is there any solution for this?
How can I use jgit for this?

Answer 1

I don't know jgit, but in normal git you do that with the pretty option as

git log --pretty="%ci %an %s" branch-name

Where %ci is the date (ISO), %an is the commiter and %s is the subject.

EDIT

You can find more info in the log documentation, pretty format section : https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-log.html#_pretty_formats

Answer 2

git log --pretty=oneline commit1...commit2 > file
