NAME

----
|
|
gitk - git repository browser
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'gitk' [<option>...] [<revs>] [--] [<path>...]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Displays changes in a repository or a selected set of commits. This includes
|
|
visualizing the commit graph, showing information related to each commit, and
|
|
the files in the trees of each revision.
|
|
|
|
Historically, gitk was the first repository browser. It's written in tcl/tk
|
|
and started off in a separate repository but was later merged into the main
|
|
git repository.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
To control which revisions to shown, the command takes options applicable to
|
|
the gitlink:git-rev-list[1] command. This manual page describes only the most
|
|
frequently used options.
|
|
|
|
-n <number>, --max-count=<number>::
|
|
|
|
Limits the number of commits to show.
|
|
|
|
--since=<date>::
|
|
|
|
Show commits more recent than a specific date.
|
|
|
|
--until=<date>::
|
|
|
|
Show commits older than a specific date.
|
|
|
|
<revs>::
|
|
|
|
Limit the revisions to show. This can be either a single revision
|
|
meaning show from the given revision and back, or it can be a range in
|
|
the form "'<from>'..'<to>'" to show all revisions between '<from>' and
|
|
back to '<to>'. Note, more advanced revision selection can be applied.
|
|
|
|
<path>::
|
|
|
|
Limit commits to the ones touching files in the given paths. Note, to
|
|
avoid ambiguity wrt. revision names use "--" to separate the paths
|
|
from any preceeding options.
|
|
|
|
Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
gitk v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi::
|
|
|
|
Show as the changes since version 'v2.6.12' that changed any
|
|
file in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories
|
|
|
|
gitk --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'
|
|
