It now also sets `format.pretty` to `medium`, git's standard layout for commit logs.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf you have set a custom log format in your git configuration, Claude Code can still read git's output correctly. Your own git commands are not affected.\n\n- Area: Git\n- Names: `format.pretty`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
