Reading History with git log
git log shows the commits on your current branch, newest first. Add --oneline for a short list.
Each commit has a short id (the 7 characters at the start). Ids are how Git names a snapshot.
Quick check
Which command shows a short, one-line-per-commit history?
Your turn: write the code
Make three commits (any files and messages), then print how many commits git log --oneline shows by piping it into wc -l.
Finish the quick check (and any code exercise) to complete this lesson, or mark it done yourself.
