Hello,

I just wanted to let you know that I still actively use the |git whatchanged| command, so I’d appreciate if it remains available.

Thank you for maintaining Git!
Best regards,
Mira Skwar

You can replace it with `git log`:

• Given: `git whatchanged <opts>` • Replace with: `git log <opts> --no-merges --raw`

... with some minor output caveats about empty commits (commits with no changes).[1]
