Super simple way to list the last 10 commits in the following ways.

Here is a hash only approach:

• git log --pretty=format:"%h" -n 10

Here is a with char string:

• 64 chars: git log --pretty=format:"%h (%<(64,trunc)%s)" -n 10
• 96 chars: git log --pretty=format:"%h (%<(96,trunc)%s)" -n 10
• 96 chars: git log --pretty=format:"%h %<(96,trunc)%s" -n 10

Happy Coding ;-)
