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 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 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
       Gitk creates the .gitk file in your $HOME directory to store
       preferences such as display options, font, and colors.
