1git-whatchanged(1) 2================== 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-whatchanged - Show logs with difference each commit introduces 7 8 9SYNOPSIS 10-------- 11[verse] 12'git whatchanged' <option>... 13 14DESCRIPTION 15----------- 16Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces. The 17command internally invokes 'git rev-list' piped to 18'git diff-tree', and takes command line options for both of 19these commands. 20 21This manual page describes only the most frequently used options. 22 23 24OPTIONS 25------- 26-p:: 27 Show textual diffs, instead of the Git internal diff 28 output format that is useful only to tell the changed 29 paths and their nature of changes. 30 31-<n>:: 32 Limit output to <n> commits. 33 34<since>..<until>:: 35 Limit output to between the two named commits (bottom 36 exclusive, top inclusive). 37 38-r:: 39 Show Git internal diff output, but for the whole tree, 40 not just the top level. 41 42-m:: 43 By default, differences for merge commits are not shown. 44 With this flag, show differences to that commit from all 45 of its parents. 46+ 47However, it is not very useful in general, although it 48*is* useful on a file-by-file basis. 49 50include::pretty-options.txt[] 51 52include::pretty-formats.txt[] 53 54Examples 55-------- 56`git whatchanged -p v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi`:: 57 58 Show as patches the commits since version 'v2.6.12' that changed 59 any file in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories 60 61`git whatchanged --since="2 weeks ago" -- gitk`:: 62 63 Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file 'gitk'. 64 The "--" is necessary to avoid confusion with the *branch* named 65 'gitk' 66 67GIT 68--- 69Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite
