1gitk(1) 2======= 3 4NAME 5---- 6gitk - git repository browser 7 8SYNOPSIS 9-------- 10'gitk' [<option>...] [<revs>] [--] [<path>...] 11 12DESCRIPTION 13----------- 14Displays changes in a repository or a selected set of commits. This includes 15visualizing the commit graph, showing information related to each commit, and 16the files in the trees of each revision. 17 18Historically, gitk was the first repository browser. It's written in tcl/tk 19and started off in a separate repository but was later merged into the main 20git repository. 21 22OPTIONS 23------- 24To control which revisions to shown, the command takes options applicable to 25the gitlink:git-rev-list[1] command. This manual page describes only the most 26frequently used options. 27 28-n <number>, --max-count=<number>:: 29 30 Limits the number of commits to show. 31 32--since=<date>:: 33 34 Show commits more recent than a specific date. 35 36--until=<date>:: 37 38 Show commits older than a specific date. 39 40<revs>:: 41 42 Limit the revisions to show. This can be either a single revision 43 meaning show from the given revision and back, or it can be a range in 44 the form "'<from>'..'<to>'" to show all revisions between '<from>' and 45 back to '<to>'. Note, more advanced revision selection can be applied. 46 47<path>:: 48 49 Limit commits to the ones touching files in the given paths. Note, to 50 avoid ambiguity wrt. revision names use "--" to separate the paths 51 from any preceeding options. 52 53Examples 54-------- 55gitk v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi:: 56 57 Show as the changes since version 'v2.6.12' that changed any 58 file in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories 59 60gitk --since="2 weeks ago" \-- gitk:: 61 62 Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file 'gitk'. 63 The "--" is necessary to avoid confusion with the *branch* named 64 'gitk' 65 66See Also 67-------- 68'qgit(1)':: 69 A repository browser written in C++ using Qt. 70 71'gitview(1)':: 72 A repository browser written in Python using Gtk.
