NAME |
|
---- |
|
gitk - The Git repository browser |
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
[verse] |
|
'gitk' [<options>] [<revision range>] [--] [<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. |
|
|
|
OPTIONS |
|
------- |
|
|
|
To control which revisions to show, gitk supports most options |
|
applicable to the 'git rev-list' command. It also supports a few |
|
options applicable to the 'git diff-*' commands to control how the |
|
changes each commit introduces are shown. Finally, it supports some |
|
gitk-specific options. |
|
|
|
gitk generally only understands options with arguments in the |
|
'sticked' form (see linkgit:gitcli[7]) due to limitations in the |
|
command-line parser. |
|
|
|
rev-list options and arguments |
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
|
|
|
This manual page describes only the most frequently used options. See |
|
linkgit:git-rev-list[1] for a complete list. |
|
|
|
--all:: |
|
|
|
Show all refs (branches, tags, etc.). |
|
|
|
--branches[=<pattern>]:: |
|
--tags[=<pattern>]:: |
|
--remotes[=<pattern>]:: |
|
|
|
Pretend as if all the branches (tags, remote branches, resp.) |
|
are listed on the command line as '<commit>'. If '<pattern>' |
|
is given, limit refs to ones matching given shell glob. If |
|
pattern lacks '?', '{asterisk}', or '[', '/{asterisk}' at the |
|
end is implied. |
|
|
|
--since=<date>:: |
|
|
|
Show commits more recent than a specific date. |
|
|
|
--until=<date>:: |
|
|
|
Show commits older than a specific date. |
|
|
|
--date-order:: |
|
|
|
Sort commits by date when possible. |
|
|
|
--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. |
|
|
|
--left-right:: |
|
|
|
Mark which side of a symmetric difference a commit is reachable |
|
from. Commits from the left side are prefixed with a `<` |
|
symbol and those from the right with a `>` symbol. |
|
|
|
--full-history:: |
|
|
|
When filtering history with '<path>...', does not prune some |
|
history. (See "History simplification" in linkgit:git-log[1] |
|
for a more detailed explanation.) |
|
|
|
--simplify-merges:: |
|
|
|
Additional option to `--full-history` to remove some needless |
|
merges from the resulting history, as there are no selected |
|
commits contributing to this merge. (See "History |
|
simplification" in linkgit:git-log[1] for a more detailed |
|
explanation.) |
|
|
|
--ancestry-path:: |
|
|
|
When given a range of commits to display |
|
(e.g. 'commit1..commit2' or 'commit2 {caret}commit1'), only |
|
display commits that exist directly on the ancestry chain |
|
between the 'commit1' and 'commit2', i.e. commits that are |
|
both descendants of 'commit1', and ancestors of 'commit2'. |
|
(See "History simplification" in linkgit:git-log[1] for a more |
|
detailed explanation.) |
|
|
|
include::line-range-options.txt[] |
|
|
|
<revision range>:: |
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
gitk-specific options |
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
|
|
|
--argscmd=<command>:: |
|
|
|
Command to be run each time gitk has to determine the revision |
|
range to show. The command is expected to print on its |
|
standard output a list of additional revisions to be shown, |
|
one per line. Use this instead of explicitly specifying a |
|
'<revision range>' if the set of commits to show may vary |
|
between refreshes. |
|
|
|
--select-commit=<ref>:: |
|
|
|
Select the specified commit after loading the graph. |
|
Default behavior is equivalent to specifying '--select-commit=HEAD'. |
|
|
|
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 |
|
----- |
|
User configuration and preferences are stored at: |
|
|
|
* `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/gitk` if it exists, otherwise |
|
* `$HOME/.gitk` if it exists |
|
|
|
If neither of the above exist then `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/gitk` is created and |
|
used by default. If '$XDG_CONFIG_HOME' is not set it defaults to |
|
`$HOME/.config` in all cases. |
|
|
|
History |
|
------- |
|
Gitk was the first graphical repository browser. It's written in |
|
tcl/tk. |
|
|
|
'gitk' is actually maintained as an independent project, but stable |
|
versions are distributed as part of the Git suite for the convenience |
|
of end users. |
|
|
|
gitk-git/ comes from Paul Mackerras's gitk project: |
|
|
|
git://ozlabs.org/~paulus/gitk |
