git_log
Read-onlyIdempotent
Display recent commits as hash, date, author, and summary lines, with filters for author, date range, or message. Review history before branching or find specific commits by details.
Instructions
Show recent commits as ' - ' lines, filtered by author, date range, or message grep. Use this to answer 'what changed recently?', to review history before branching or merging, and to find a commit by author or message text. Best for: reviewing commit history and filtering by author, date or message. Returns: one formatted line per commit, or 'No commits found.' Does NOT show commit patches or file contents — use git_show for a single commit's details and git_grep to search file contents; use git_reflog to see HEAD movements.
