The point of these sections is generally to:
1. Give credit where it is due.
2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
file bug reports.
But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.
So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.
Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
gitk - The 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 show, the command takes options applicable to
|
|
the 'git rev-list' command (see linkgit:git-rev-list[1]).
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
--all::
|
|
|
|
Show all branches.
|
|
|
|
--merge::
|
|
|
|
After an attempt to merge stops with conflicts, show the commits on
|
|
the history between two branches (i.e. the HEAD and the MERGE_HEAD)
|
|
that modify the conflicted files and do not exist on all the heads
|
|
being merged.
|
|
|
|
--argscmd=<command>::
|
|
Command to be run each time gitk has to determine the list of
|
|
<revs> to show. The command is expected to print on its standard
|
|
output a list of additional revs to be shown, one per line.
|
|
Use this instead of explicitly specifying <revs> if the set of
|
|
commits to show may vary between refreshes.
|
|
|
|
--select-commit=<ref>::
|
|
|
|
Automatically select the specified commit after loading the graph.
|
|
Default behavior is equivalent to specifying '--select-commit=HEAD'.
|
|
|
|
<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.
|
|
For a more complete list of ways to spell object names, see
|
|
linkgit:gitrevisions[7].
|
|
|
|
<path>...::
|
|
|
|
Limit commits to the ones touching files in the given paths. Note, to
|
|
avoid ambiguity with respect to revision names use "--" to separate the paths
|
|
from any preceding options.
|
|
|
|
Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
gitk v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi::
|
|
|
|
Show 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'
|
|
|
|
gitk --max-count=100 --all \-- Makefile::
|
|
|
|
Show at most 100 changes made to the file 'Makefile'. Instead of only
|
|
looking for changes in the current branch look in all branches.
|
|
|
|
Files
|
|
-----
|
|
