View your commits with Git log

The git log command shows a sequential history of the individual commits with a repository.

You can also filter the view to include only a particular branch.

The entries are listed from newest to oldest. Each entry shows the commit number along with the author’s name and email as well as the date of the commit.

You can get more information about a commit with git show <commit_id> where represents the commit number from git log. If you tag your commits you can replace with the tag.

We'll discuss tags shortly.
