Get all git commits since last tag

Question

When I\'m going to tag a commit, I need to know what changed since the last tagged commit. Eg:

a87a6sdf87a6d4 Some new feature
a87a6sdf87a6d3 Some bug fix
a87a6s         


        

Answer 1

If your current commit is also a tag and you want to dynamically get the changes since the previous tag, without knowing the latest tag nor previous tag name, you can do:

git log --oneline $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0 @^)..@

Note that @ is short for HEAD.
