log

Show commits on the current branch—specifically, commits between the parent branch and HEAD. This helps you see exactly what changes are in the current stack branch, excluding commits from parent branches.

Usage

rung log
rung log --json

Options

Option	Description
--json	Output as JSON (includes branch name, parent, and commit details)

Example

$ rung log

a1b2c3d    Add user authentication     alice
e4f5g6h    Fix login redirect          alice

Output Format

<short-sha>    <commit-message>    <author>

JSON Output

$ rung log --json

{
  "commits": [
    { "hash": "a1b2c3d", "message": "Add user authentication", "author": "alice" },
    { "hash": "e4f5g6h", "message": "Fix login redirect", "author": "alice" }
  ],
  "branch": "feat-auth",
  "parent": "main"
}

When There Are No Commits

$ rung log
! Current branch has no commits

This happens when the current branch points to the same commit as its parent.
