git-whatchanged (draft)
NAME
git-whatchanged - Show logs with difference each commit introduces
SYNOPSIS
git whatchanged <option>...
DESCRIPTION
Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces.
New users are encouraged to use linkgit:git-log[1] instead. The whatchanged
command is essentially the same as linkgit:git-log[1] but defaults to show the raw format diff output and to skip merges.
The command is kept primarily for historical reasons; fingers of many people who learned Git long before git log
was invented by reading 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
