| 4 | NAME | |
| 5 | ---- | |
| 6 | git-whatchanged - Show logs with difference each commit introduces. | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | ||
| 9 | SYNOPSIS | |
| 10 | -------- | |
| cc1621e2 | 11 | 'git-whatchanged' <option>... |
| 3f971fc4 JH |
12 | |
| 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. | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | This manual page describes only the most frequently used options. | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | ||
| 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. | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | --max-count=<n>:: | |
| 31 | Limit output to <n> commits. | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | <since>..<until>:: | |
| 34 | Limit output to between the two named commits (bottom | |
| 35 | exclusive, top inclusive). | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | -r:: | |
| 38 | Show git internal diff output, but for the whole tree, | |
| 39 | not just the top level. | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | --pretty=<format>:: | |
| 42 | Controls the output format for the commit logs. | |
| 43 | <format> can be one of 'raw', 'medium', 'short', 'full', | |
| 44 | and 'oneline'. | |
| 45 | ||

46 | -m:: |
| 47 | By default, differences for merge commits are not shown. | |
| 48 | With this flag, show differences to that commit from all | |
| 49 | of its parents. | |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | However, it is not very useful in general, although it | |
| 52 | *is* useful on a file-by-file basis. | |

54 | Examples |
| 55 | -------- | |
| 56 | git-whatchanged -p v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi:: | |
| 57 | ||
| 58 | Show as patches the commits since version 'v2.6.12' that changed | |
| 59 | any file in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories | |
| 60 | ||
| 61 | git-whatchanged --since="2 weeks ago" -- gitk:: | |
| 62 | ||
| 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' | |
