|
=========== |
|
|
|
NAME |
|
---- |
|
git-diff - Show changes between commits, commit and working tree, etc. |
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
'git-diff' [ --diff-options ] <ent>{0,2} [<path>...] |
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION |
|
----------- |
|
Show changes between two ents, an ent and the working tree, an |
|
ent and the index file, or the index file and the working tree. |
|
The combination of what is compared with what is determined by |
|
the number of ents given to the command. |
|
|
|
* When no <ent> is given, the working tree and the index |
|
file is compared, using `git-diff-files`. |
|
|
|
* When one <ent> is given, the working tree and the named |
|
tree is compared, using `git-diff-index`. The option |
|
`--cached` can be given to compare the index file and |
|
the named tree. |
|
|
|
* When two <ent>s are given, these two trees are compared |
|
using `git-diff-tree`. |
|
|
|
OPTIONS |
|
------- |
|
--diff-options:: |
|
'--diff-options' are passed to the `git-diff-files`, |
|
`git-diff-index`, and `git-diff-tree` commands. See the |
|
documentation for these commands for description. |
|
|
|
<path>...:: |
|
The <path> arguments are also passed to `git-diff-\*` |
|
commands. |
|
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLES |
|
-------- |
|
|
|
Various ways to check your working tree:: |
|
+ |
|
------------ |
|
$ git diff <1> |
|
$ git diff --cached <2> |
|
$ git diff HEAD <3> |
|
|
|
<1> changes in the working tree since your last git-update-index. |
|
<2> changes between the index and your last commit; what you |
|
would be committing if you run "git commit" without "-a" option. |
|
<3> changes in the working tree since your last commit; what you |
|
would be committing if you run "git commit -a" |
|
------------ |
|
|
|
Comparing with arbitrary commits:: |
|
+ |
|
------------ |
|
$ git diff test <1> |
|
$ git diff HEAD -- ./test <2> |
|
$ git diff HEAD^ HEAD <3> |
|
|
|
<1> instead of using the tip of the current branch, compare with the |
|
tip of "test" branch. |
|
<2> instead of comparing with the tip of "test" branch, compare with |
|
the tip of the curren branch, but limit the comparison to the |
|
file "test". |
|
<3> compare the version before the last commit and the last commit. |
|
------------ |
|
|
|
|
|
Limiting the diff output:: |
|
+ |
|
------------ |
|
$ git diff --diff-filter=MRC <1> |
|
$ git diff --name-status -r <2> |
|
$ git diff arch/i386 include/asm-i386 <3> |
|
|
|
<1> show only modification, rename and copy, but not addition |
|
nor deletion. |
|
<2> show only names and the nature of change, but not actual |
|
diff output. --name-status disables usual patch generation |
|
which in turn also disables recursive behaviour, so without -r |
|
you would only see the directory name if there is a change in a |
|
file in a subdirectory. |
|
<3> limit diff output to named subtrees. |
|
------------ |
|
|
|
Munging the diff output:: |
|
+ |
|
------------ |
|
$ git diff --find-copies-harder -B -C <1> |
|
$ git diff -R <2> |
|
|
|
<1> spend extra cycles to find renames, copies and complete |
|
rewrites (very expensive). |
|
<2> output diff in reverse. |
