[git-users] Re: How to see ALL my commits? Including from any branches I've made.

Hi PeteR

*"git log"*[1]  was a good thought, you 
just need to add "--all" parameter, as by default only current branch is 
logged, as you noticed, arguably being the most common use case.

What helped me in the beginning was remembering - "What everyone needs? *A 
dog*!"[2]  :), that is:

git log --*a*ll --*d*ecorate --*o*neline --*g*raph


Might be irrelevant for now, but you should also know that in some cases 
Git might still decide not to show all the commits -- this is being 
considered a feature, and part of *"history simplification"*[3] 
, being helpful 
with understanding complex history graphs. To ask Git not to simplify 
history, parameters "--sparse" and "--full-history" are used... but it 
should be safe not to bother with this in the beginning -- or most of the 
time, even :)

try the re-list / rev-parse pair of commands with the --all option (i.e. here 
are places to start in the manual ;-)

  All I want is a complete list of the SHAs and tags of all the commits I’ve 
made, including those on any branches  (obviously I’m a  beginner and have some 
wrong concepts). 


  I don’t see how from the documentation. I want to see the commits from 
branches as well. 
  I tried "git show —max-parents=0”  — gave me nothing, while "git show" gave 
me far too much detail but not the commits from the main line of commits (i’m 
on a branch).
  I thought that “git log” would show all my commits, but it only shows the 
commits of the branch I’m on.

[git-users] How to see ALL my commits? Including from any branches I've made.

[prowat]

All I want is a complete list of the SHAs and tags of all the commits I’ve 
made, including those on any branches  (obviously I’m a  beginner and have 
some wrong concepts). 


I don’t see how from the documentation. I want to see the commits from 
branches as well. 
I tried "git show —max-parents=0”  — gave me nothing, while "git show" gave 
me far too much detail but not the commits from the main line of commits 
(i’m on a branch).
I thought that “git log” would show all my commits, but it only shows the 
commits of the branch I’m on.
