This is a pretty simple question: as a Git newbie I was wondering if there’s a way for me to output my git log to a file, preferably in some kind of serialized format like XML, JSON, or YAML. Any suggestions?

    to output to a file:

    git log > filename.log
    

    To specify a format, like you want everything on one line

    git log --pretty=oneline >filename.log
    

    or you want it a format to be emailed via a program like sendmail

    git log --pretty=email |email-sending-script.sh
    

    to generate JSON, YAML or XML it looks like you need to do something like:

    git log --pretty=format:"%h%x09%an%x09%ad%x09%s"
    

    This gist (not mine) perfectly formats output in JSON:
