git log --oneline commitId1..commitId2
git log --oneline HEAD~x..HEAD~y

# Shows commits b/w current branch and branch2
git log --oneline ..branch2

# Shows commits b/w branch1 and branch2
git log --oneline branch1..branch2

If we want to list commits that have modified a file (let's say file1.txt)

git log --oneline file1.txt

# Only if above command gives an Error (Mostly when we are using a filename that doesn't exist in W.T)
git log --oneline -- file1.txt

If we want to Format the Output of git log command...

git log --pretty=format:"Hello ! %an"

# Output
