I would like to say that I still use `git whatchanged` I like the way
we see the modified files instead of just `git log`

This command is being removed because it was supplanted by git-log(1) a
long while ago. Both commands use the same machinery, just with
different defaults.

And actually I never saw the message before today when I showed the
command to a friend of mine, will it be removed soon ?

It is planned for removal in Git 3.0. There is no plan for when Git 3.0
will be released.

See: https://git-scm.com/docs/BreakingChanges

Is there any alternatives that are straight to the point without any
args or something?

You can replace it with `git log` in this way:

• Given: `git whatchanged <opts>`
• Replace with: `git log <opts> --no-merges --raw`

Additionally for the sake of readability, you might have more
use for `--stat` or `--name-only` rather than `--raw` if you are only
reading the output (not feeding the output to another program).

You can also use `--patch` to see the full diffs.

In any cases, thanks for your amazing work,
