# Introduction Welcome, Git time traveler! Today, we're embarking on an exciting journey through the history of your Git projects. One of Git's most powerful features is its ability to track and display the history of your project. This history is not just a record of what happened, but a powerful tool for understanding, debugging, and improving your project. In this lab, we'll explore the `git log` command, which is your window into Git's historical records. We'll start with basic usage and then dive into more advanced techniques like formatting log output, filtering logs by date, searching for specific changes, and even generating statistics from your project history. By the end of this lab, you'll be able to navigate your project's history like a pro, extracting valuable insights and information that will make you a more effective developer. Whether you're tracking down a bug, reviewing changes, or just trying to understand how your project evolved, the skills you learn here will be invaluable. Let's step into our Git time machine and explore the past!
