What we wanted to hear readers ask was \"what\ncan I use instead?\"  And the answer is \"git log --raw\" or even\nbetter \"git log --stat\", \"git log --name-only\", etc., depending on\nyour taste, all of them shorter to type than \"git whatchanged\".\n\n"},{"id":"527385","messageId":"72711D1A-020F-4B63-A72E-5DD46A7A7EA6@electrooptical.net","threadId":"64204","inReplyTo":"1c5581eb-ad69-4a18-b798-c54344a4208a@app.fastmail.com","subject":"Re: whatchanged is super useful!","fromName":"Phil Hobbs","fromEmail":"pcdhobbs@electrooptical.net","sentAt":"2025-09-26T00:10:24Z","receivedAt":"2025-09-26T00:26:44Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"pcdhobbs@electrooptical.net","avatar":null},"body":"Fair enough, thanks. \n\n> On Sep 25, 2025, at 17:55, Kristoffer Haugsbakk <kristofferhaugsbakk@fastmail.com> wrote:\n> \n> On Thu, Sep 25, 2025, at 23:44, Phil Hobbs wrote:\n>> I use git whatchanged all the time.
