How do you get an export format file from Get Log or is there a better tool for a cleaner look?

We want a simple list of date and topic..

Hello @Kyleigh Philbrook ,

Thank you for reaching out to Atlassian Community.

From your description it was not clear what Get Logs you are referring about. Could you give us more context of your request and also clarify if "Get Log" is an API call or an option you see in the Bitbucket UI ?

Thank you, @Kyleigh Philbrook

Kind regards,

Patrik S.

It is a command line function that is standard with Bit Bucket.

Hello @Kyleigh Philbrook ,

I think you might be referring to "git log" command. If that is the case, you can use the command below to export  the list of commits containing just the date and commit messages  :

git log --pretty=format:"%ad%x09%s" > destination_file.txt

Where :

%ad = author date
%x09 = tab
%s = subject

Please let me know if this is what you were looking for.

In case you are referring to a different command, could you please provide us an example of the command you are executing ?

Thank you, @Kyleigh Philbrook .

Kind regards,
