Create a new repository
Create a program in that repository
Add a number of (at least 6) commits
Find the names of every file changed in each commit
Find what changed in a given file over time
Find all the files you committed in the past hour (or whatever time increment makes sense)

Notice that you will be using log to see how one file changes over time and to find the names of every file in the commit. This shows the versatility of the log command.
