%h: abbreviated commit hash

%T: tree hash

%t: abbreviated tree hash

%p: abbreviated parent hashes

%an: author name

%aN: author name (respecting .mailmap, see git-shortlog(1) or git-blame(1))

%ae: author email

%aE: author email (respecting .mailmap, see git-shortlog(1) or git-blame(1))

%ad: author date (format respects --date= option)

%aD: author date, RFC2822 style

%ar: author date, relative

%at: author date, UNIX timestamp

%ai: author date, ISO 8601 format

%cn: committer name

%cN: committer name (respecting .mailmap, see git-shortlog(1) or git-blame(1))

%ce: committer email

%cE: committer email (respecting .mailmap, see git-shortlog(1) or git-blame(1))

%cd: committer date

%cD: committer date, RFC2822 style

%cr: committer date, relative

%ct: committer date, UNIX timestamp

%ci: committer date, ISO 8601 format

%d: ref names, like the --decorate option of git-log(1)

%e: encoding

%s: subject

%f: sanitized subject line, suitable for a filename

%b: body

%B: raw body (unwrapped subject and body)

%N: commit notes

%GG: raw verification message from GPG for a signed commit

%G?: show "G" for a Good signature, "B" for a Bad signature, "U" for a good, untrusted signature and "N" for no signature

%GS: show the name of the signer for a signed commit

%GK: show the key used to sign a signed commit

%gD: reflog selector, e.g., refs/stash@{1}

%gd: shortened reflog selector, e.g., stash@{1}

%gn: reflog identity name

%gN: reflog identity name (respecting .mailmap, see git-shortlog(1) or git-blame(1))

%ge: reflog identity email

%gE: reflog identity email (respecting .mailmap, see git-shortlog(1) or git-blame(1))

%gs: reflog subject

%Cred: switch color to red

%Cgreen: switch color to green

%Cblue: switch color to blue

%Creset: reset color

%C(…): color specification, as described in color.branch.* config option; adding auto, at the beginning will emit color only when colors are enabled for log output (by color.diff, color.ui, or --color, and respecting the auto settings of the former if we are going to a terminal). auto alone (i.e. %C(auto)) will turn on auto coloring on the next placeholders until the color is switched again.

%m: left, right or boundary mark

%n: newline

%%: a raw %

%x00: print a byte from a hex code

%w([<w>[,<i1>[,<i2>]]]): switch line wrapping, like the -w option of git-shortlog(1).

%<(<N>[,trunc|ltrunc|mtrunc]): make the next placeholder take at least N columns, padding spaces on the right if necessary. Optionally truncate at the beginning (ltrunc), the middle (mtrunc) or the end (trunc) if the output is longer than N columns. Note that truncating only works correctly with N >= 2.

%<|(<N>): make the next placeholder take at least until Nth columns, padding spaces on the right if necessary

%>(<N>), %>|(<N>): similar to %<(<N>), %<|(<N>) respectively, but padding spaces on the left

%>>(<N>), %>>|(<N>): similar to %>(<N>), %>|(<N>) respectively, except that if the next placeholder takes more spaces than given and there are spaces on its left, use those spaces

%><(<N>), %><|(<N>): similar to % <(<N>), %<|(<N>) respectively, but padding both sides (i.e. the text is centered)
