9 | SYNOPSIS | |
10 | -------- | |
b1889c36 | 11 | 'git whatchanged' <option>... |
3f971fc4 JH |
12 | |
13 | DESCRIPTION | |
14 | ----------- | |
15 | Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces. The | |
0b444cdb TR |
16 | command internally invokes 'git rev-list' piped to |
17 | 'git diff-tree', and takes command line options for both of | |
3f971fc4 JH |
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 | ||
70551726 | 30 | -<n>:: |
3f971fc4 JH |
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 | -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. | |

46 | However, it is not very useful in general, although it | |
47 | *is* useful on a file-by-file basis. | |

bd663611 LT |
