I learned a new option --pretty=""



$ git log --pretty=""  --name-only
Algorithms/GrokkingAlgorithms/grokkingAlgorithms.md
Untitled.md
_manual.md
drafts.md


what does "" mean here?



I checked --pretty=format but found no --pretty="".

          --pretty="" defines the output format to "". This means that for each commit you just get an empty string "" as output.



          The overall effect of your command is that you see a list of the changed files but without the rest of the information about a commit (like for example commit ID, author, date, commit text).
