Git one-liner: show commits since last release

on Git , Unix
Comment

This git one-liner is useful for checking there is no omission in the changelog before shipping a release.

alias git-log-since-rlz='git log --oneline --pretty=format:"%h%x09%an%x09%s" --no-merges $(git describe --abbrev=0 --tags)..HEAD'

And you get a no fluff view of the commits that happened since last tag :

$ git-log-since-rlz
