git-whatchanged(1) ================== NAME ---- git-whatchanged - Show logs with difference each commit introduces SYNOPSIS -------- [verse] 'git whatchanged' <option>... DESCRIPTION ----------- Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces. The command internally invokes 'git rev-list' piped to 'git diff-tree', and takes command line options for both of these commands. This manual page describes only the most frequently used options. OPTIONS ------- -p:: Show textual diffs, instead of the Git internal diff output format that is useful only to tell the changed paths and their nature of changes. -<n>:: Limit output to <n> commits. <since>..<until>:: Limit output to between the two named commits (bottom exclusive, top inclusive). -r:: Show Git internal diff output, but for the whole tree, not just the top level. -m:: By default, differences for merge commits are not shown. With this flag, show differences to that commit from all of its parents. + However, it is not very useful in general, although it *is* useful on a file-by-file basis. include::pretty-options.txt[] include::pretty-formats.txt[] Examples -------- `git whatchanged -p v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi`:: Show as patches the commits since version 'v2.6.12' that changed any file in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories `git whatchanged --since="2 weeks ago" -- gitk`:: Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file 'gitk'. The "--" is necessary to avoid confusion with the *branch* named 'gitk' GIT --- Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite
