4 NAME
5 ----
6 git-whatchanged - Show logs with difference each commit introduces
9 SYNOPSIS
10 --------
11 'git whatchanged' <option>...
13 DESCRIPTION
14 -----------
15 Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces. The
16 command internally invokes 'git-rev-list' piped to
17 'git-diff-tree', and takes command line options for both of
18 these commands.
20 This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.
23 OPTIONS
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.
30 -<n>::
31 Limit output to <n> commits.
33 <since>..<until>::
34 Limit output to between the two named commits (bottom
35 exclusive, top inclusive).
37 -r::
38 Show git internal diff output, but for the whole tree,
39 not just the top level.
41 -m::
42 By default, differences for merge commits are not shown.
43 With this flag, show differences to that commit from all
44 of its parents.
45 +
46 However, it is not very useful in general, although it
47 *is* useful on a file-by-file basis.

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