I use oh-my-zsh and I rely on the git aliases. I used this today:

which gwch
gwch: aliased to git whatchanged -p --abbrev-commit --pretty=medium

It's being removed because git log supplanted
it over 12 years ago. Both commands use the
same machinery, just with different defaults.

You should be able to replace that with git log
in front instead, maybe with a --no-merges as well.
