You can use the interactive shell like you usually do to explore tables in postgreSQL per example:

$ gitql shell

           gitQL SHELL
           -----------
You must end your queries with ';'

!> SELECT hash, author_email, author_name FROM commits LIMIT 2;

--> Executing query: SELECT hash, author_email, author_name FROM commits LIMIT 2;

+------------------------------------------+---------------------+-----------------------+
|                   HASH                   |    AUTHOR EMAIL     |      AUTHOR NAME      |
