I am using SourceTree for code commits.

How can I see the full commit history in SourceTree, including the Git commands used?

Hi

Try this, maybe can help you

1. Open SourceTree and select your repository.
2. Go to the “Log / History” tab.
3. You’ll see a visual graph of all commits, branches, merges, etc.
4. Click on any commit to see:
   • Commit message
   • Author
   • Date
   • Changed files
   • Diff view

 

Option 1: Use the Terminal

• Right-click on the repository in SourceTree.
• Select “Open in Terminal”.
• Run Git commands manually, like:

git log --oneline --graph --decorate --all

or

git show <commit-hash>

 

Option 2: Enable Git Output Logging

• Go to Tools > Options > Git (Windows) or SourceTree > Preferences > Git (Mac).
• Enable “Show Full Output” or “Enable Git command logging”.
• This will show the Git commands SourceTree runs behind the scenes in the Output or Terminal tab.

Option 3: Use the Actions History

• Some actions (like rebase, merge, stash) show the Git command used in the “Terminal” or “Output” pane at the bottom of SourceTree.
