Description

NAME
       git-whatchanged - Show logs with difference 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 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

GIT
       Part of the git(1) suite
