6 git-whatchanged - Show logs with difference each commit introduces
9 SYNOPSIS
10 --------
11 [verse]
12 'git whatchanged' <option>...
14 DESCRIPTION
15 -----------
16 Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces. The
17 command internally invokes 'git rev-list' piped to
18 'git diff-tree', and takes command line options for both of
19 these commands.
21 This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.
24 OPTIONS
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.
31 -<n>::
32 Limit output to <n> commits.
34 <since>..<until>::
35 Limit output to between the two named commits (bottom
36 exclusive, top inclusive).
38 -r::
39 Show git internal diff output, but for the whole tree,
40 not just the top level.
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 +
47 However, it is not very useful in general, although it
48 *is* useful on a file-by-file basis.

54 Examples
55 --------
56 `git whatchanged -p v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi`::
58 Show as patches the commits since version 'v2.6.12' that changed
59 any file in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories
61 `git whatchanged --since="2 weeks ago" \-- gitk`::
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'
