how to split the repository history one line for each commit?

Question

I'm trying to have the history of a repository, but the result is returned to me on a single line of text.

The command I'm using:

 cmd = f'git log --all --grep="fixed bug"'

The result I would like to have:

commit 337f4f4e798ea675cd57348212857ce051e857ffAuthor: Vinod...
commit 0b5a4823a963bd898b3979de8cce67513a1f83e5Author: Lofdw Kuma...

Check `git help log`, specifically the section about `--pretty` which will provide lots of options to suit your particular needs. — eftshift0, Feb 08 '23 at 12:02
So, something like `git log --pretty="Commit %H Author: %an"` does not work? — eftshift0, Feb 08 '23 at 12:09

All this text only prints to me on one line, I would like to split — Mario, Feb 08 '23 at 12:16
There's a _special placeholder_ for new lines, explained in the section about `--pretty`. `%n`. — eftshift0, Feb 08 '23 at 12:16

Try this:

git log --pretty="Commit: %H %nAuthor: %an"

This beautiful site has a lot of information about that topic:

With pretty format is it possible to also view files that have been changed since the commit? – Mario Feb 08 '23 at 12:48
