GIT-WHATCHANGED(1)             Git Manual             GIT-WHATCHANGED(1)

NAME top

       git-whatchanged - Show logs with differences each commit
       introduces

SYNOPSIS top

       git whatchanged <option>...

DESCRIPTION top

       Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces.

       New users are encouraged to use git-log(1) instead. The
       whatchanged command is essentially the same as git-log(1) but
       defaults to showing the raw format diff output and skipping
       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 top

       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
