# Include Some Stats In Your Git Log

A simple `git log` command is going to give you a concise set of information for each commit. Usually it is enough info. When it's not, `git log` can provide additional information with the right flags. To include overall and per-file stats on the number of insertions and deletions, use the `--stat` flag.

```bash
$ git log --stat
