Description

Commits

Usage

commits(
  repo = ".",
  topological = TRUE,
  time = TRUE,
  reverse = FALSE,
  n = NULL,
  ref = NULL,
  path = NULL
)

Arguments

repo	a path to a repository or a git_repository object. Default is '.'
topological	Sort the commits in topological order (parents before children); can be combined with time sorting. Default is TRUE.
time	Sort the commits by commit time; Can be combined with topological sorting. Default is TRUE.
reverse	Sort the commits in reverse order; can be combined with topological and/or time sorting. Default is FALSE.
n	The upper limit of the number of commits to output. The default is NULL for unlimited number of commits.
ref	The name of a reference to list commits from e.g. a tag or a branch. The default is NULL for the current branch.
path	The path to a file. If not NULL, only commits modifying this file will be returned. Note that modifying commits that occurred before the file was given its present name are not returned; that is, the output of git log with --no-follow is reproduced.

Value

list of commits in repository
