This log is updated when the HEAD gets updated. This usually happens with:

• Switching branches
• Pulling in new changes
• Adding new commits
• Rewrites to history

This command will show you the history of your local repository. If you performed a destructive command like reset and want to recover commits, you could find the hash of this commit with git-reflog.
