Strangely, when I run this command: Git log origin/master --pretty=oneline --decorate -1 I get the format I want from STDOUT. However, when I try to filter it to show only the tag refs: Git log origin/master --pretty=oneline --decorate --decorate-refs=^tag* -1 No refs are returned to standard output again. Only on the command line. Does --decorate-refs not return to STDOUT?

Decorations, like color and refs pointing to a commit, are for humans, and humans read the terminal. If the command's output doesn't go to a terminal, then no such decorations are shown by default. Try invoking 'git log --decorate'; or, better yet, use your custom '--format=', especially if you intend to parse the output,
