-Prints the last commit.
+Checking the contents of the last Git commit can sometimes be useful to orient yourself in the repository's history. The `git log` command can help you with this by displaying the last commit in the repository.
 
-- Use `git log -1` to view the last commit.
-- Use arrow keys to navigate, press <kbd>Q</kbd> to exit.
+Using `git log -1`, you can view the last commit in the repository. This command will show you the **commit hash**, **author**, **date**, and **commit message** of the last commit. You can navigate through the commit history using the arrow keys and exit by pressing <kbd>Q</kbd>.
 
 ```shell
-git log -1
+# Syntax: git log -1
