git-whatchanged
Name
git-whatchanged - Show logs with differences each commit introduces
Synopsis
git whatchanged <option>…Description
Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces.
New users are encouraged to use git-log[1] instead. The whatchanged command is essentially the same as git-log[1] but defaults to showing the raw format diff output and skipping merges.
The command is primarily kept for historical reasons; fingers of many people who learned Git long before git log was invented by reading the 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
v2.6.12that 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 namedgitk
