try on your machine

The command git show --oneline -s ${commit} is used to display summarized information about a specific commit in a Git repository.

Let's break down the components of the command:

git show: This is a Git command used to display information about a specific commit or set of commits. It shows the changes made in the commit, along with other details like the author, date, and commit message.
--oneline: This is an option used with the git show command to display a brief summary of each commit. With this option, only the first line of the commit message is shown instead of the full message.
-s: This option, when used with git show, causes only the summary information to be displayed, excluding the actual changes made in the commit. It stands for "summary" or "short".
${commit}: This is a placeholder for the specific commit you want to display information about. Replace ${commit} with the actual commit identifier, such as a commit hash or a branch name, to show information about that commit.

By using git show --oneline -s ${commit}, you will get a summarized view of the specified commit, showing only the first line of the commit message and excluding the actual changes.
