GIT Log show only recent entries

I am trying to utilize cmd prompt to get the last 10 commits with the author, commit hash, and description to utilize in a form. I have been experimenting with git log --pretty=short, however, the output seems to go forever.

I would like to know how to reduce the amount of commits returned to the last 10 commits utilizing the git log command. I plan on extracting the information into a data structure for later use.

The following command will display the last 10 commits:

git log -n 10 --pretty=short
