The command "git whatchanged" is used to display the commit history and changes made to a specific file or directory in a Git repository.
Here is the breakdown of the command:
- "git whatchanged": This is the main command to invoke the git history and change display feature.
- "${filename_or_directory}": This is a placeholder for the name of the specific file or directory for which you want to view the changes and commit history. You need to replace it with the actual name of the file or directory you're interested in.
By running this command, you will be able to see a list of commits related to the specified file or directory. It will display information such as the commit hash, author, date, and commit message. Additionally, it will show the changes made to the file or files within the specified directory in each commit.
