 <h1>
 git-whatchanged(1) Manual Page
 </h1>
 <h2>NAME</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p>git-whatchanged -
  Show logs with difference each commit introduces
 </p>
 </div>
 </div>
 <h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p><em>git-whatchanged</em> &lt;option&gt;&#8230;</p>
 </div>
 <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p>Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces. The
 command internally invokes <em>git-rev-list</em> piped to
 <em>git-diff-tree</em>, and takes command line options for both of
 these commands.</p>
 <p>This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.</p>
 </div>
 <h2>OPTIONS</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <dl>
 <dt>
 -p
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Show textual diffs, instead of the git internal diff
  output format that is useful only to tell the changed
  paths and their nature of changes.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -&lt;n&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Limit output to &lt;n&gt; commits.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 &lt;since&gt;..&lt;until&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Limit output to between the two named commits (bottom
  exclusive, top inclusive).
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -r
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Show git internal diff output, but for the whole tree,
  not just the top level.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -m
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  By default, differences for merge commits are not shown.
  With this flag, show differences to that commit from all
  of its parents.
 </p>
 <p>However, it is not very useful in general, although it
 <strong>is</strong> useful on a file-by-file basis.</p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --pretty[=<em>&lt;format&gt;</em>]
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Pretty-print the contents of the commit logs in a given format,
  where <em>&lt;format&gt;</em> can be one of <em>oneline</em>, <em>short</em>, <em>medium</em>,
  <em>full</em>, <em>fuller</em>, <em>email</em>, <em>raw</em> and <em>format:&lt;string&gt;</em>.
  When omitted, the format defaults to <em>medium</em>.
 </p>
 <p>Note: you can specify the default pretty format in the repository
 configuration (see <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a>).</p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --abbrev-commit
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object
  name, show only handful hexdigits prefix. Non default number of
  digits can be specified with "--abbrev=&lt;n&gt;" (which also modifies
  diff output, if it is displayed).
 </p>
 <p>This should make "--pretty=oneline" a whole lot more readable for
 people using 80-column terminals.</p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --encoding[=&lt;encoding&gt;]
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  The commit objects record the encoding used for the log message
  in their encoding header; this option can be used to tell the
  command to re-code the commit log message in the encoding
  preferred by the user. For non plumbing commands this
  defaults to UTF-8.
 </p>
 </dd>
 </dl>
 </div>
 <h2>PRETTY FORMATS</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p>If the commit is a merge, and if the pretty-format
 is not <em>oneline</em>, <em>email</em> or <em>raw</em>, an additional line is
 inserted before the <em>Author:</em> line. This line begins with
 "Merge: " and the sha1s of ancestral commits are printed,
 separated by spaces. Note that the listed commits may not
 necessarily be the list of the <strong>direct</strong> parent commits if you
 have limited your view of history: for example, if you are
 only interested in changes related to a certain directory or
 file.</p>
 <p>Here are some additional details for each format:</p>
 <ul>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>oneline</em>
 </p>
 <div class="literalblock">
 <div class="content">
 <pre><tt>&lt;sha1&gt; &lt;title line&gt;</tt></pre>
 </div></div>
 <p>This is designed to be as compact as possible.</p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>short</em>
 </p>
 <div class="literalblock">
 <div class="content">
 <pre><tt>commit &lt;sha1&gt;
 Author: &lt;author&gt;</tt></pre>
 </div></div>
 <div class="literalblock">
 <div class="content">
 <pre><tt>&lt;title line&gt;</tt></pre>
 </div></div>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>medium</em>
 </p>
 <div class="literalblock">
 <div class="content">
 <pre><tt>commit &lt;sha1&gt;
 Author: &lt;author&gt;

 </div></div>
 <div class="literalblock">

 <div class="literalblock">

 </p>
 <div class="literalblock">
 <div class="content">
 <pre><tt>commit &lt;sha1&gt;
 Author: &lt;author&gt;

 <li>

 <div class="literalblock">
 <div class="content">

 Author: &lt;author&gt;
 AuthorDate: &lt;date &amp; time&gt;

 </div></div>
 <div class="literalblock">

 </div></div>
 <div class="literalblock">
 <div class="content">
 <pre><tt>&lt;full commit message&gt;</tt></pre>

 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>email</em>
 </p>
 <div class="literalblock">
 <div class="content">
 <pre><tt>From &lt;sha1&gt; &lt;date&gt;

 Date: &lt;date &amp; time&gt;

 </div></div>
 <div class="literalblock">
 <div class="content">
 <pre><tt>&lt;full commit message&gt;</tt></pre>
 </div></div>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>raw</em>
 </p>
 <p>The <em>raw</em> format shows the entire commit exactly as
 stored in the commit object. Notably, the SHA1s are
 displayed in full, regardless of whether --abbrev or
 --no-abbrev are used, and <em>parents</em> information show the
 true parent commits, without taking grafts nor history
 simplification into account.</p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>format:</em>
 </p>
 <p>The <em>format:</em> format allows you to specify which information
 you want to show. It works a little bit like printf format,
 with the notable exception that you get a newline with <em>%n</em>
 instead of <em>\n</em>.</p>
 <p>E.g, <em>format:"The author of %h was %an, %ar%nThe title was &gt;&gt;%s&lt;&lt;%n"</em>
 would show something like this:</p>
 <div class="listingblock">
 <div class="content">
 <pre><tt>The author of fe6e0ee was Junio C Hamano, 23 hours ago
 The title was &gt;&gt;t4119: test autocomputing -p&lt;n&gt; for traditional diff input.&lt;&lt;
 </tt></pre>
 </div></div>
 <p>The placeholders are:</p>
 <ul>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>%H</em>: commit hash
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>%h</em>: abbreviated commit hash
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>%T</em>: tree hash
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>%t</em>: abbreviated tree hash
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>%P</em>: parent hashes
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>%p</em>: abbreviated parent hashes

 <li>
 <p>
 <em>%an</em>: author name

 <em>%ae</em>: author email

 <li>
 <p>
 <em>%ad</em>: author date

 <p>
 <em>%ar</em>: author date, relative
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>%at</em>: author date, UNIX timestamp

 <li>
 <p>
 <em>%ce</em>: committer email
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>%cd</em>: committer date
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>%cD</em>: committer date, RFC2822 style
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>%cr</em>: committer date, relative
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>%ct</em>: committer date, UNIX timestamp
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>%ci</em>: committer date, ISO 8601 format
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>%e</em>: encoding
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>%s</em>: subject
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>%b</em>: body
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>%Cred</em>: switch color to red
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>%Cgreen</em>: switch color to green
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>%Cblue</em>: switch color to blue
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>%Creset</em>: reset color
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>%m</em>: left, right or boundary mark
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>%n</em>: newline
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>%x00</em>: print a byte from a hex code
 </p>
 </li>
 </ul>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>tformat:</em>
 </p>
 <p>The <em>tformat:</em> format works exactly like <em>format:</em>, except that it
 provides "terminator" semantics instead of "separator" semantics. In
 other words, each commit has the message terminator character (usually a
 newline) appended, rather than a separator placed between entries.
 This means that the final entry of a single-line format will be properly
 terminated with a new line, just as the "oneline" format does.
 For example:</p>
 <div class="listingblock">
 <div class="content">
 <pre><tt>$ git log -2 --pretty=format:%h 4da45bef \
  | perl -pe '$_ .= " -- NO NEWLINE\n" unless /\n/'
 4da45be
 7134973 -- NO NEWLINE

 $ git log -2 --pretty=tformat:%h 4da45bef \
  | perl -pe '$_ .= " -- NO NEWLINE\n" unless /\n/'
 4da45be
 7134973</tt></pre>
 </div></div>
 </li>
 </ul>
 </div>
 <h2>Examples</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <dl>
 <dt>
 git-whatchanged -p v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Show as patches the commits since version <em>v2.6.12</em> that changed
  any file in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 git-whatchanged --since="2 weeks ago" -- gitk
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file <em>gitk</em>.
  The "--" is necessary to avoid confusion with the <strong>branch</strong> named
  <em>gitk</em>
 </p>
 </dd>

	git-whatchanged(1) Manual Page
	</h1>
	<h2>NAME</h2>
	<div class="sectionbody">
	<p>git-whatchanged -
	Show logs with difference each commit introduces
	</p>
	</div>
	</div>
	<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
	<div class="sectionbody">
	<p><em>git-whatchanged</em> <option>…</p>
	</div>
	<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
	<div class="sectionbody">
	<p>Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces. The
	command internally invokes <em>git-rev-list</em> piped to
	<em>git-diff-tree</em>, and takes command line options for both of
	these commands.</p>
	<p>This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.</p>
	</div>
	<h2>OPTIONS</h2>
	<div class="sectionbody">
	<dl>
	<dt>
	-p
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Show textual diffs, instead of the git internal diff
	output format that is useful only to tell the changed
	paths and their nature of changes.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	-<n>
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Limit output to <n> commits.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	<since>..<until>
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Limit output to between the two named commits (bottom
	exclusive, top inclusive).
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	-r
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Show git internal diff output, but for the whole tree,
	not just the top level.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	-m
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	By default, differences for merge commits are not shown.
	With this flag, show differences to that commit from all
	of its parents.
	</p>
	<p>However, it is not very useful in general, although it
	<strong>is</strong> useful on a file-by-file basis.</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	--pretty[=<em><format></em>]
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Pretty-print the contents of the commit logs in a given format,
	where <em><format></em> can be one of <em>oneline</em>, <em>short</em>, <em>medium</em>,
	<em>full</em>, <em>fuller</em>, <em>email</em>, <em>raw</em> and <em>format:<string></em>.
	When omitted, the format defaults to <em>medium</em>.
	</p>
	<p>Note: you can specify the default pretty format in the repository
	configuration (see <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a>).</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	--abbrev-commit
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object
	name, show only handful hexdigits prefix. Non default number of
	digits can be specified with "--abbrev=<n>" (which also modifies
	diff output, if it is displayed).
	</p>
	<p>This should make "--pretty=oneline" a whole lot more readable for
	people using 80-column terminals.</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	--encoding[=<encoding>]
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	The commit objects record the encoding used for the log message
	in their encoding header; this option can be used to tell the
	command to re-code the commit log message in the encoding
	preferred by the user. For non plumbing commands this
	defaults to UTF-8.
	</p>
	</dd>
	</dl>
	</div>
	<h2>PRETTY FORMATS</h2>
	<div class="sectionbody">
	<p>If the commit is a merge, and if the pretty-format
	is not <em>oneline</em>, <em>email</em> or <em>raw</em>, an additional line is
	inserted before the <em>Author:</em> line. This line begins with
	"Merge: " and the sha1s of ancestral commits are printed,
	separated by spaces. Note that the listed commits may not
	necessarily be the list of the <strong>direct</strong> parent commits if you
	have limited your view of history: for example, if you are
	only interested in changes related to a certain directory or
	file.</p>
	<p>Here are some additional details for each format:</p>
	<ul>
	<li>
	<p>
	<em>oneline</em>
	</p>
	<div class="literalblock">
	<div class="content">
	<pre><tt><sha1> <title line></tt></pre>
	</div></div>
	<p>This is designed to be as compact as possible.</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>
	<em>short</em>
	</p>
	<div class="literalblock">
	<div class="content">
	<pre><tt>commit <sha1>
	Author: <author></tt></pre>
	</div></div>
	<div class="literalblock">
	<div class="content">
	<pre><tt><title line></tt></pre>
	</div></div>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>
	<em>medium</em>
	</p>
	<div class="literalblock">
	<div class="content">

	<div class="literalblock">

	<div class="literalblock">

	</div></div>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>
	<em>raw</em>
	</p>
	<p>The <em>raw</em> format shows the entire commit exactly as
	stored in the commit object. Notably, the SHA1s are
	displayed in full, regardless of whether --abbrev or
	--no-abbrev are used, and <em>parents</em> information show the
	true parent commits, without taking grafts nor history
	simplification into account.</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>
	<em>format:</em>
	</p>
	<p>The <em>format:</em> format allows you to specify which information
	you want to show. It works a little bit like printf format,
	with the notable exception that you get a newline with <em>%n</em>
	instead of <em>\n</em>.</p>
	<p>E.g, <em>format:"The author of %h was %an, %ar%nThe title was >>%s<<%n"</em>
	would show something like this:</p>
	<div class="listingblock">
	<div class="content">
	<pre><tt>The author of fe6e0ee was Junio C Hamano, 23 hours ago
	The title was >>t4119: test autocomputing -p<n> for traditional diff input.<<
	</tt></pre>
	</div></div>

	<li>
	<p>
	<em>%Cgreen</em>: switch color to green

	<li>
	<p>
	<em>%Cblue</em>: switch color to blue
	</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>
	<em>%Creset</em>: reset color
	</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>
	<em>%m</em>: left, right or boundary mark
	</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>

	<li>
	<p>
	<em>%x00</em>: print a byte from a hex code
	</p>
	</li>
	</ul>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>
	<em>tformat:</em>
	</p>
	<p>The <em>tformat:</em> format works exactly like <em>format:</em>, except that it
	provides "terminator" semantics instead of "separator" semantics. In
	other words, each commit has the message terminator character (usually a
	newline) appended, rather than a separator placed between entries.
	This means that the final entry of a single-line format will be properly
	terminated with a new line, just as the "oneline" format does.
	For example:</p>
	<div class="listingblock">
	<div class="content">
	<pre><tt>$ git log -2 --pretty=format:%h 4da45bef \
	\| perl -pe '$_ .= " -- NO NEWLINE\n" unless /\n/'
	4da45be
	7134973 -- NO NEWLINE

	$ git log -2 --pretty=tformat:%h 4da45bef \
	\| perl -pe '$_ .= " -- NO NEWLINE\n" unless /\n/'
	4da45be
	7134973</tt></pre>
	</div></div>
	</li>
	</ul>
	</div>
	<h2>Examples</h2>
	<div class="sectionbody">
	<dl>
	<dt>
	git-whatchanged -p v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Show as patches the commits since version <em>v2.6.12</em> that changed

	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	git-whatchanged --since="2 weeks ago" -- gitk
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file <em>gitk</em>.
	The "--" is necessary to avoid confusion with the <strong>branch</strong> named
	<em>gitk</em>
