CompTIA Linux+ XK0-006 (V8) Practice Question

The combination --oneline shortens every commit to a single line that shows an abbreviated hash and the summary message. The option -n 3 (or the equivalent --max-count=3) limits the output to the most recent three commits that match the rest of the query. Because Git normally prints commits in reverse-chronological order (newest first), adding --reverse flips the list so the oldest of the selected commits is printed first. Placing -- before the path makes the following token a pathspec, filtering the history to commits that touched playbooks/web.yml. Together, these flags meet all stated requirements, whereas the other commands either include full patches/statistics, omit the oneline format, or do not guarantee exactly three commits in chronological order.
