To list all commits reachable from a specified commit in Git, you can use the following command:
git log <commit>
Replace <commit> with the commit hash or reference (like a branch name or tag). If you want to see a more condensed view of the commits, you can use:
git log --oneline <commit>
In addition, if you would like to see the reachable commits including all of their ancestors, you can use:
git rev-list <commit>^..
This command will list all commits that are reachable from the specified commit in a simple format. If you want to see a visual representation of the commit history, you can use:
git log --graph --oneline <commit>
This will graphically depict the commit history starting from the specified commit, making it easier to visualize the commit structure.
