git-whatchanged

git-whatchanged(1) ==================

NAME ---- git-whatchanged - Show logs with differences each commit introduces

SYNOPSIS --------

git whatchanged \<option>…

WARNING ------- git whatchanged has been deprecated and is scheduled for removal in a future version of Git, as it is merely git log with different defaults.

DESCRIPTION -----------

Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces.

New users are encouraged to use git-log instead. The whatchanged command is essentially the same as git-log but defaults to showing the raw format diff output and skipping merges:

git log --raw --no-merges

The command is primarily kept for historical reasons; fingers of many people who learned Git long before git log was invented by reading the Linux kernel mailing list are trained to type it.

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'
