| .SH "NAME" |
| git-whatchanged \- Show logs with differences each commit introduces |
| .SH "SYNOPSIS" |

| \fBgit\fR \fBwhatchanged\fR \fI<option>\fR\&...\: |
| .fi |
| .SH "WARNING" |
| .sp |
| \fBgit\fR \fBwhatchanged\fR has been deprecated and is scheduled for removal in a future version of Git, as it is merely \fBgit\fR \fBlog\fR with different defaults\&. |
| .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| .sp |
| Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces\&. |
| .sp |
| New users are encouraged to use \fBgit-log\fR(1) instead\&. The \fBwhatchanged\fR command is essentially the same as \fBgit-log\fR(1) but defaults to showing the raw format diff output and skipping merges: |
| .sp |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RS 4 |
| .\} |
| .nf |
| git log \-\-raw \-\-no\-merges |
| .fi |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RE |
| .\} |
| .sp |
| The command is primarily kept for historical reasons; fingers of many people who learned Git long before \fBgit\fR \fBlog\fR was invented by reading the Linux kernel mailing list are trained to type it\&. |
| .SH "EXAMPLES" |
| .PP |
| \fBgit\fR \fBwhatchanged\fR \fB\-p\fR \fBv2\&.6\&.12\fR\fB\&.\&.\fR \fBinclude/scsi\fR \fBdrivers/scsi\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| Show as patches the commits since version |
| \fIv2\&.6\&.12\fR |
| that changed any file in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories |
| .RE |
| .PP |
| \fBgit\fR \fBwhatchanged\fR \fB\-\-since=\fR"2 \fBweeks\fR \fBago\fR" \fB\-\-\fR \fBgitk\fR |
| .RS 4 |
| Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file |
| \fIgitk\fR\&. The "\-\-" is necessary to avoid confusion with the |
| \fBbranch\fR |
| named |
| \fIgitk\fR |
| .RE |
| .SH "GIT" |
| .sp |
| Part of the \fBgit\fR(1) suite |
