How to view Git log
Monday, November 24, 2025
Viewing Git log is essential for understanding project history, tracking changes, and debugging issues by examining commit messages and authorship.
As the creator of CoreUI with over 25 years of version control experience, I use git log extensively for code reviews, debugging, and project analysis.
The most fundamental approach is using the git log command which displays commit history in reverse chronological order.
This provides complete visibility into project evolution with detailed commit information and flexible formatting options.
