Log

ELI5 — The Vibe Check

Git log is like a diary of everything that happened in your project. It shows a timeline of all commits — who made them, when, and the messages they wrote. Great for understanding what happened and finding when bugs were introduced.

Real Talk

Git log displays the commit history. It supports many formatting options (--oneline, --graph, --pretty) and filters (--author, --since, --grep). It's the primary tool for exploring repository history.
