Thank you! very useful...

Here is ahother variant only with the date and text commit:

Quarantiine commented Jan 28, 2026

Does it also show the commit message descriptions?

Quarantiine commented Jan 28, 2026

This should show commit message itself, the commit message's description, and date only

git log --no-merges --pretty=format:'"%ad","%s","%b"' --date=short > gitLogs.csv

Example:

"2026-01-15","feat: Enhance context agent with dynamic file selection and configuration fetching","Refactor context selection to integrate configuration data, support targeted line range reading, and improve command safety verification.
