Show logs with difference each commit introduces
Man Page
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 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
