1git-whatchanged(1) 2================== 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-whatchanged - Show logs with difference each commit introduces 7 8 9SYNOPSIS 10-------- 11'git-whatchanged' <option>... 12 13DESCRIPTION 14----------- 15Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces. The 16command internally invokes 'git-rev-list' piped to 17'git-diff-tree', and takes command line options for both of 18these commands. 19 20This manual page describes only the most frequently used options. 21 22 23OPTIONS 24------- 25-p:: 26 Show textual diffs, instead of the git internal diff 27 output format that is useful only to tell the changed 28 paths and their nature of changes. 29 30--max-count=<n>:: 31 Limit output to <n> commits. 32 33<since>..<until>:: 34 Limit output to between the two named commits (bottom 35 exclusive, top inclusive). 36 37-r:: 38 Show git internal diff output, but for the whole tree, 39 not just the top level. 40 41--pretty=<format>:: 42 Controls the output format for the commit logs. 43 <format> can be one of 'raw', 'medium', 'short', 'full', 44 and 'oneline'. 45 46-m:: 47 By default, differences for merge commits are not shown. 48 With this flag, show differences to that commit from all 49 of its parents. 50 51 However, it is not very useful in general, although it 52 *is* useful on a file-by-file basis. 53 54Examples 55-------- 56git-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 61git-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 67 68Author 69------ 70Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> and 71Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> 72 73 74Documentation 75-------------- 76Documentation by David Greaves, Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. 77 78GIT 79--- 80Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite 81
