Then perhaps you would like "git log --stat" even better?  Instead

of meaningless pair of hexadecimal object names, you'd get a sense
of the size of damage each commit causes to the codebase.

I have tested "git log --stat" and I really liked the display, thanks for the tips 

I agree that i was not looking at the hexadecimal but more to the names of the file, the visual representation og the changes and the numbers are great ! 

Yes, on Git v2.51.1, Git 2.52 or higher.

I am on v2.43.0 I will update thanks

The command is going away.  You could

  $ git config alias.whatchanged "log --raw --no-merges"

if you really prefer the ugly hexadecimal gibberish, though.
