git-whatchanged − Show logs with differences each commit introduces
git whatchanged <option>...
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 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 git log was invented by reading the Linux kernel mailing list are trained to type it.
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
Part of the git(1) suite
