NAME

6       gitk - The git repository browser
7

SYNOPSIS

9       gitk [<option>...] [<revs>] [--] [<path>...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Displays changes in a repository or a selected set of commits. This
13       includes visualizing the commit graph, showing information related to
14       each commit, and the files in the trees of each revision.
15
16       Historically, gitk was the first repository browser. It´s written in
17       tcl/tk and started off in a separate repository but was later merged
18       into the main git repository.
19

OPTIONS

21       To control which revisions to shown, the command takes options
22       applicable to the git-rev-list(1) command. This manual page describes
23       only the most frequently used options.
24
25       -n <number>, --max-count=<number>
26           Limits the number of commits to show.
27
28       --since=<date>
29           Show commits more recent than a specific date.
30
31       --until=<date>
32           Show commits older than a specific date.
33
34       --all
35           Show all branches.
36
37       <revs>
38           Limit the revisions to show. This can be either a single revision
39           meaning show from the given revision and back, or it can be a range
40           in the form "<from>..<to>" to show all revisions between <from> and
41           back to <to>. Note, more advanced revision selection can be
42           applied. For a more complete list of ways to spell object names,
43           see "SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in git-rev-parse(1).
44
45       <path>
46           Limit commits to the ones touching files in the given paths. Note,
47           to avoid ambiguity wrt. revision names use "--" to separate the
48           paths from any preceding options.
49

EXAMPLES

51       gitk v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi
52           Show as the changes since version v2.6.12 that changed any file in
53           the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories
54
55       gitk --since="2 weeks ago" -- gitk
56           Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file gitk. The
57           "--" is necessary to avoid confusion with the branch named gitk
58
59       gitk --max-count=100 --all — Makefile
60           Show at most 100 changes made to the file Makefile. Instead of only
61           looking for changes in the current branch look in all branches.
