How to get the log of a single commit without the diff

Question

I want the git log of a single commit but without the diff.

So far this is the simplest solution:

git log -1 <commit>

It looks like I want the -<number> switch. From the man page:

-<number>, -n <number>, --max-count=<number>
    Limit the number of commits to output.

This is not an exact duplicate of either of the listed questions.

The second answer of the question you linked yourself should help you to figure out how to get any result… — poke, Aug 09 '16 at 17:02
My original question was poorly worded. As it is now, this question is not a duplicate. — David Cullen, Aug 09 '16 at 17:19

Did you try:

git log -n 1 --pretty=%B <treeish>

Sorry, my question was poorly worded. I also want the commit, Author, and Date. – David Cullen Aug 09 '16 at 16:59
Look under "PRETTY FORMATS" at https://git-scm.com/docs/git-log – DavidN Aug 09 '16 at 17:20

You can try,

git log -n 1 --pretty=format:'%h %ad %s (%an)'

OR

git log -n 1 --pretty=format:"%h%x09%an%x09%ad%x09%s"
