| 4 | NAME |
| 5 | ---- |
| 6 | git-whatchanged - Show logs with differences each commit introduces |
| 7 | |

| 9 | SYNOPSIS |
| 10 | -------- |
| 11 | [synopsis] |
| 12 | git whatchanged <option>... |
| 13 | |
| 14 | WARNING |
| 15 | ------- |
| 16 | `git whatchanged` has been deprecated and is scheduled for removal in |
| 17 | a future version of Git, as it is merely `git log` with different |
| 18 | defaults. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | DESCRIPTION |
| 21 | ----------- |
| 22 | |
| 23 | Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | New users are encouraged to use linkgit:git-log[1] instead. The |
| 26 | `whatchanged` command is essentially the same as linkgit:git-log[1] |
| 27 | but defaults to showing the raw format diff output and skipping merges: |
| 28 | |
| 29 | ---- |
| 30 | git log --raw --no-merges |
| 31 | ---- |
| 32 | |
| 33 | The command is primarily kept for historical reasons; fingers of |
| 34 | many people who learned Git long before `git log` was invented by |
| 35 | reading the Linux kernel mailing list are trained to type it. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | |
| 38 | Examples |
| 39 | -------- |
| 40 | `git whatchanged -p v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi`:: |
| 41 | |
| 42 | Show as patches the commits since version 'v2.6.12' that changed |
| 43 | any file in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories |
| 44 | |
| 45 | `git whatchanged --since="2 weeks ago" -- gitk`:: |
| 46 | |
| 47 | Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file 'gitk'. |
| 48 | The "--" is necessary to avoid confusion with the *branch* named |
| 49 | 'gitk' |
