Question

How can you show the standard TortoiseGit log window for a repository or specified file in repository from the command line?

Was it helpful?

Solution

If you're currently in a working copy directory, you can run this command:

TortoiseGitProc /command:log /path:.

Or to just show the log of a specific file, use:

TortoiseGitProc /command:log /path:MyFile.txt

I haven't yet worked out how to specify a certain branch/remote, however.

OTHER TIPS

Assume C:\Program Files\TortoiseGit\bin is in %PATH%

Since 1.8.0

TortoiseGitProc.exe /command:log

will show log of repository in current directory.

TortoiseGitProc.exe /command:log /path:C:\Repo1\MyFile1.txt
TortoiseGitProc.exe /command:log /path:MyFile1.txt

will show the change log of MyFile1.txt

Note that MyFile1.txt part is case sensitive, C:\Repo1\ part is not case sensitive.

Note: 1.7.15 and older use TortoiseProc.exe
