Here are some common and important Git commands for viewing logs:

and tags that point to specific commits.

Combination of different options:

git log -p or git log --patch
Show the commit history with changes made in each commit (Show
changes lines).
git log -1 --stat
Show the commit history with statistics about changes (Show committed files) and 1 displays latest one commit only.
git show <commit-id>
Shows detailed information about a specific commit, including the commit message, author, date, and changes made in the commit.
cat <file name>
“cat” is not a git command. It is a basic Unix/Linux command used to concatenate and display the contents of one or more files in the terminal.
These are basic options, and there are many more options and configurations available with the git log command.
