git log -10
Would show 10 latest commits matching the revision spec (a missing spec means "all commits").
See manpage:
git help log
section Commit Limiting
Commit Limiting
-<number>, -n <number>, --max-count=<number> Limit the number of commits to output.
Simply log everything with one line format and tail the output:
git log --pretty=oneline | tail -n 10
Here my approach,
To get first 10 commits:
git log -n 10
-n is number
AdditionalTo get next 10 commit skip first 10 :
git log --skip=10 -n 10
