# git-whatchanged(1) Manual Page

## NAME

git-whatchanged - Show logs with differences 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 command is essentially the same as git-log(1) but defaults to showing the raw format diff output and skipping merges.

The command is primarily kept for historical reasons; fingers of many people who learned Git long before was invented by reading the Linux kernel mailing list are trained to type it.

## Examples

  Show as patches the commits since version v2.6.12 that changed any file in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories

  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
