LilyPond Contributor's Guide: 3.4.5 Git log

### 3.4.5 Git log

The commands above don’t only bring you the latest version of the sources, but also the full history of revisions (revisions, also called commits, are changes made to the sources), stored in the ‘`.git`’ directory. You can browse this history with

>     git log     # only shows the logs (author, committish and commit message)
>     git log -p  # also shows diffs
>     gitk        # shows history graphically

Note: The `gitk` command may require a separate `gitk` package, available in the appropriate distribution’s repositories.
