在push之前有時候會不放心是不是忘記加某些檔案，或者是不是多刪了個什麼東西，這時候希望能夠看看上次commit都做了些什麼。

一開始想到的是用git diff，但是git diff用於當前修改尚未commit的時候較為方便，一旦commit後，需要指定上次節點的名稱（一個hash值），不方便。這種時候用git log更合適，因為commit的內容會以log來記錄。

下面記錄幾個常用的情境以及對應的命令。

僅僅想看最近誰有提交，以及提交的描述

對應命令 git log

有了這幾條命令，基本上對於想看最近更改的情境就可以應付過去了。最後一條並不很常用，如果有visual的工具可能更直觀些。
