How do I export a git log to a text file?

Question

I want to export the log of all commits in a repo to a text file, is there any way to do this?

Answer 1

git log | clip 

copies to clipboard, then paste to a textfile

Answer 2

You'll just need to disable the pager.

git --no-pager log > log.txt

If you want to format it to look nicer, you can use parameters of git log.

Answer 3

It's simple. if you don't matter save a file you need the open terminal

cd {your git repository}
git log > your_file_name.txt

if you need a special directory, just write all path in the right side, like this

cd {your git repository}
git log > /home/user/logs/your_file_name.txt

This directory, for example, you could use any one of your needs. I write a log like this just now.

This example show how to write a text in a file via bash

Answer 4

Have you tried git log > log.txt ?
