=head1 Name

sqitch-log - Show Sqitch change logs

=head1 Synopsis

  sqitch [options] log [<options>] [<database>]

=head1 Description

Sqitch keeps a record of the deployment, failed deployment, or reversion of
all changes in a target database. Even after a change has been reverted, a log
of its earlier deployment is retained. The C<log> command is your key to
accessing it. You can simply list all the events, search for events matching
regular expressions, and limit the results.

The C<< <database> >> parameter specifies the database to which to connect,
and may also be specified as the C<--target> option. It can be target name,
a URI, an engine name, or plan file path.

=head1 Options

=over

=item C<-t>

=item C<--target>

The target database to which to connect. This option can be either a URI or
the name of a target in the configuration.

=item C<--event>

Filter by event type. May be specified more than once. Allowed values are:

=over

=item * C<deploy>

=item * C<revert>

=item * C<fail>

=back

=item C<--change-pattern>

=item C<--change>

A regular expression to match against change names.

=item C<--project-pattern>

=item C<--project>

A regular expression to match against project names.

=item C<--committer-pattern>

=item C<--committer>

A regular expression to match against committer names.

=item C<--format>

=item C<-f>

The format to use. May be one of:

=over

=item C<full>

=item C<long>

=item C<medium>

=item C<short>

=item C<oneline>

=item C<raw>

=item C<< format:<string> >>

=back

See L</Formats> for details on each format. Defaults to C<medium>.

=item C<--date-format>

=item C<--date>

Format to use for timestamps. Defaults to C<iso>. Allowed values:

=over

=item C<iso>

=item C<iso8601>

Shows timestamps in ISO-8601 format.

=item C<full>

=item C<long>

=item C<medium>

=item C<short>

Show timestamps in the specified format length, using the system locale's
C<LC_TIME> category.

=item C<raw>

Show timestamps in raw format, which is strict ISO-8601 in the UTC time zone.

=item C<strftime:$string>

Show timestamps using an arbitrary C<strftime> pattern. See
L<DateTime/strftime Paterns> for comprehensive documentation of supported
patterns.

=item C<cldr:$pattern>

Show timestamps using an arbitrary C<cldr> pattern. See
L<DateTime/CLDR Paterns> for comprehensive documentation of supported
patterns.

=back

=item C<--max-count>

=item C<-n>

Limit the number of events to output.

=item C<--skip>

Skip the specified number events before starting to show the event output.

=item C<--reverse>

=item C<--no-reverse>

Do not output the events in reverse order. 

=item C<--color>

=over

=item C<auto> (the default)

=item C<always>

=item C<never>

=back

=item C<--no-color>

Turn off colored output. It is the same as C<--color never>.

=item C<--abbrev>

Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal change ID, show only a partial
prefix the specified number of characters long.

=item C<--oneline>

Shorthand for C<--format oneline --abbrev 6>.

=back

=head1 Configuration Variables

=over

=item C<log.format>

Output format to use. Supports the same values as C<--format>.

=item C<log.date_format>

Format to use for timestamps. Supports the same values as the C<--date-format>
option.

=item C<log.color>

Output colors. Supports the same values as the C<--color> option.

=back

=head1 Formats

There are several built-in formats, and you can emit data in a custom format
C<< format:<string> >> format. Here are the details of the built-in formats:

=over

=item C<oneline>

  <change id> <event type> <project name>:<change name> <title line>

This is designed to be as compact as possible.

=item C<short>

  <event type> <change id>
  Name:      <change name>
  Committer: <committer>

  <title line>

=item C<medium>

  <event type> <change id>
  Name:      <change name>
  Committer: <committer>
  Date:      <commit date>

  <full change note>

=item C<long>

  <event type> <change id> <tags>
  Name:      <change name>
  Project:   <change name>
  Planner:   <planner>
  Committer: <committer>

  <full change note>

=item C<full>

  <event type> <change id> <tags>
  Event:     <event type>
  Name:      <change name>
  Project:   <change name>
  Requires:  <required changes>
  Conflicts: <conflicting changes>
  Planner:   <planner>
  Planned:   <plan date>
  Committer: <committer>
  Committed: <commit date>

  <full change note>

=item C<raw>

  <event type> <change id> <tags>
  name      <change name>
  project   <project name>
  requires  <required changes>
  conflicts <conflicting changes>
  planner   <planner>
  planned   <raw plan date>
  committer <committer>
  committed <raw commit date>

  <full change note>

Suitable for parsing: the change ID is displayed in full, without regard to
the value of C<--abbrev>; dates are formatted raw (strict ISO-8601 format in
the UTC time zone); and all labels are lowercased and unlocalized.

=item C<< format:<string> >>

The C<< format:<string> >> format allows you to specify which information you
want to show. It works a little bit like C<printf> format and a little like
Git log format. For example, this format:

  format:The committer of %h was %{name}c%vThe title was >>%s<<%v

Would show something like this:

  The committer of f26a3s was Tom Lane
  The title was >>We really need to get this right.<<
