+### Logging
+
+Logging is a useful tool for inspecting what happens in the code and in what order. Neogit uses
+[`Plenary`](https://github.com/nvim-lua/plenary.nvim) for logging.
+
+Export the environment variables `NEOGIT_LOG_CONSOLE="sync"` to enable logging, and `NEOGIT_LOG_LEVEL="debug"` for more
+verbose logging.
+
+```lua
+local logger = require("neogit.logger")
+
+logger.fmt_info("This is a log message: %d", 2)
+logger.fmt_debug("This is a verbose log message: %q", status)
