 325 <h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
 326 <div class="sectionbody">
 327 <div class="para"><p>Displays changes in a repository or a selected set of commits. This includes
 328 visualizing the commit graph, showing information related to each commit, and
 329 the files in the trees of each revision.</p></div>
 330 <div class="para"><p>Historically, gitk was the first repository browser. It's written in tcl/tk
 331 and started off in a separate repository but was later merged into the main
 332 git repository.</p></div>
 333 </div>
 334 <h2 id="_options">OPTIONS</h2>
 335 <div class="sectionbody">
 336 <div class="para"><p>To control which revisions to show, the command takes options applicable to
 337 the <em>git rev-list</em> command (see <a href="git-rev-list.html">git-rev-list(1)</a>).
 338 This manual page describes only the most
 339 frequently used options.</p></div>

 343 </dt>

 361 --until=&lt;date&gt;

 363 <dd>
 364 <p>
 365         Show commits older than a specific date.

 380 <p>
 381         After an attempt to merge stops with conflicts, show the commits on
 382         the history between two branches (i.e. the HEAD and the MERGE_HEAD)
 383         that modify the conflicted files and do not exist on all the heads
 384         being merged.
 385 </p>

 387 <dt>
 388 --argscmd=&lt;command&gt;
 389 </dt>
 390 <dd>
 391 <p>
 392         Command to be run each time gitk has to determine the list of
 393         &lt;revs&gt; to show.  The command is expected to print on its standard
 394         output a list of additional revs to be shown, one per line.
 395         Use this instead of explicitly specifying &lt;revs&gt; if the set of
 396         commits to show may vary between refreshes.
 397 </p>
 398 </dd>
 399 <dt>
 400 --select-commit=&lt;ref&gt;
 401 </dt>
 402 <dd>
 403 <p>
 404         Automatically select the specified commit after loading the graph.
 405         Default behavior is equivalent to specifying <em>--select-commit=HEAD</em>.

 407 </dd>
 408 <dt>
 409 &lt;revs&gt;
 410 </dt>
 411 <dd>
 412 <p>
 413         Limit the revisions to show. This can be either a single revision
 414         meaning show from the given revision and back, or it can be a range in
 415         the form "<em>&lt;from&gt;</em>..<em>&lt;to&gt;</em>" to show all revisions between <em>&lt;from&gt;</em> and
 416         back to <em>&lt;to&gt;</em>. Note, more advanced revision selection can be applied.
 417         For a more complete list of ways to spell object names, see

 426         Limit commits to the ones touching files in the given paths. Note, to
 427         avoid ambiguity with respect to revision names use "--" to separate the paths
 428         from any preceding options.
