Git log between tags

I'm trying to output the log between two tagged commits.

mbell@cheetah [12:07:22] [/var/www/html/brone] [dev]
-> % git tag 
6.x-0.1
6.x-1.0-beta1
6.x-1.0-beta2
6.x-1.0-beta3
6.x-1.0-beta4
6.x-1.0-beta5
6.x-1.0-beta6
6.x-1.0-beta7
6.x-1.0-beta8
6.x-1.0-beta9

If I then do:

git log 6.x-1.0-beta8 6.x-1.0-beta9 > ~/gitlogbrone.txt

It outputs all the commits since the start of the repo which isn't what I want. I've read through the git log manual but it's not helping much.

Solution

  • You need an ellipsis to indicate a range. Try git log tag1..tag2.
