31 git-whatchanged \- Show logs with differences each commit introduces
35 \fIgit whatchanged\fR <option>\&...\:
39 Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces\&.
41 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\&.
43 The command is primarily kept for historical reasons; fingers of many people who learned Git long before \fBgit log\fR was invented by reading the Linux kernel mailing list are trained to type it\&.
46 \fBgit whatchanged \-p v2\&.6\&.12\&.\&. include/scsi drivers/scsi\fR
48 Show as patches the commits since version
50 that changed any file in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories
53 \fBgit whatchanged \-\-since="2 weeks ago" \-\- gitk\fR
55 Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file
56 \fIgitk\fR\&. The "\-\-" is necessary to avoid confusion with the
63 Part of the \fBgit\fR(1) suite
