starting with documentation in th kernel might be better than
google or bing

<snip Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst>
   The following git config settings can be used to add a pretty format
   for outputting the above style in the git log or git show commands:
[core]
        abbrev = 12
[pretty]
        fixes = Fixes: %h (\"%s\")
<snip>

or on the commandline you can simply use

git log -1 --pretty=format:"Fixes: %h (\"%s\")" SHA 

thx!
