Question

git-log man page says:

git log [options] [since..until] [[–] path…]

since..until
Show only commits between the named two commits. When either
or is omitted, it defaults to HEAD, i.e. the tip of
the current branch. For a more complete list of ways to spell
and , see gitrevisions(7).

When I do git-log for some refs of the repo I get the hole log:

$ git log HEAD^ HEAD

    first commit

$ git branch
* master

What should I do to be able to show log since and until some revisions?

Answer 1

Didn’t you just miss the .. ?

git log HEAD^..HEAD
