man git-whatchanged (Commandes) - Show logs with difference each commit introduces.
NAME
git-whatchanged - Show logs with difference each commit introduces.
SYNOPSIS
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.
- --max-count=<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.
- --pretty=<format>
- Controls the output format for the commit logs. <format> can be one of raw, medium, short, full, and oneline.
- -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
