There are two ways to do this   1  providing the SHA of the commit you want to see to git log   git log -p a2c25061  Where -p is short for patch  2  use git show   git show a2c25061  The output for both commands will be    the commit  the author the date the commit message the patch information

git log -1 --format  quot  an  ae n cn  ce quot  a2c25061  The Pretty Formats section of the git show documentation contains   format  lt string gt   The format  lt string gt  format allows you to specify which information you want to show  It works a little bit like printf format  with the notable exception that you get a newline with  n instead of  n     The placeholders are    an  author name  ae  author email  cn  committer name  ce  committer email
