| ================== |

| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-whatchanged - Show logs with difference each commit introduces |
| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| [verse] |
| 'git whatchanged' <option>... |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces. The |
| command internally invokes 'git rev-list' piped to |
| 'git diff-tree', and takes command line options for both of |
| these commands. |
| |
| This manual page describes only the most frequently used options. |
| |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| ------- |
| -p:: |
| Show textual diffs, instead of the Git internal diff |
| output format that is useful only to tell the changed |
| paths and their nature of changes. |
| |
| -<n>:: |
| Limit output to <n> commits. |
| |
| <since>..<until>:: |
| Limit output to between the two named commits (bottom |
| exclusive, top inclusive). |
| |
| -r:: |
| Show Git internal diff output, but for the whole tree, |
| not just the top level. |
| |
| -m:: |
| By default, differences for merge commits are not shown. |
| With this flag, show differences to that commit from all |
| of its parents. |
| + |
| However, it is not very useful in general, although it |
| *is* useful on a file-by-file basis. |

| 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' |
