Raw output format |
|
----------------- |
|
|
|
The raw output format from "git-diff-index", "git-diff-tree", |
|
"git-diff-files" and "git diff --raw" are very similar. |
|
|
|
These commands all compare two sets of things; what is |
|
compared differs: |
|
|
|
git-diff-index <tree-ish>:: |
|
compares the <tree-ish> and the files on the filesystem. |
|
|
|
git-diff-index --cached <tree-ish>:: |
|
compares the <tree-ish> and the index. |
|
|
|
git-diff-tree [-r] <tree-ish-1> <tree-ish-2> [<pattern>...]:: |
|
compares the trees named by the two arguments. |
|
|
|
git-diff-files [<pattern>...]:: |
|
compares the index and the files on the filesystem. |
|
|
|
The "git-diff-tree" command begins its output by printing the hash of |
|
what is being compared. After that, all the commands print one output |
|
line per changed file. |
|
|
|
An output line is formatted this way: |
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------ |
|
in-place edit :100644 100644 bcd1234... 0123456... M file0 |
|
copy-edit :100644 100644 abcd123... 1234567... C68 file1 file2 |
|
rename-edit :100644 100644 abcd123... 1234567... R86 file1 file3 |
|
create :000000 100644 0000000... 1234567... A file4 |
|
delete :100644 000000 1234567... 0000000... D file5 |
|
unmerged :000000 000000 0000000... 0000000... U file6 |
|
------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
|
That is, from the left to the right: |
|
|
|
. a colon. |
|
. mode for "src"; 000000 if creation or unmerged. |
|
. a space. |
|
. mode for "dst"; 000000 if deletion or unmerged. |
|
. a space. |
|
. sha1 for "src"; 0\{40\} if creation or unmerged. |
|
. a space. |
|
. sha1 for "dst"; 0\{40\} if creation, unmerged or "look at work tree". |
|
. a space. |
|
. status, followed by optional "score" number. |
|
. a tab or a NUL when '-z' option is used. |
|
. path for "src" |
|
. a tab or a NUL when '-z' option is used; only exists for C or R. |
|
. path for "dst"; only exists for C or R. |
|
. an LF or a NUL when '-z' option is used, to terminate the record. |
|
|
|
Possible status letters are: |
|
|
|
- A: addition of a file |
|
- C: copy of a file into a new one |
|
- D: deletion of a file |
|
- M: modification of the contents or mode of a file |
|
- R: renaming of a file |
|
- T: change in the type of the file |
|
- U: file is unmerged (you must complete the merge before it can |
|
be committed) |
|
- X: "unknown" change type (most probably a bug, please report it) |
|
|
|
Status letters C and R are always followed by a score (denoting the |
|
percentage of similarity between the source and target of the move or |
|
copy). Status letter M may be followed by a score (denoting the |
|
percentage of dissimilarity) for file rewrites. |
|
|
|
<sha1> is shown as all 0's if a file is new on the filesystem |
|
and it is out of sync with the index. |
|
|
|
Example: |
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------ |
|
:100644 100644 5be4a4...... 000000...... M file.c |
|
------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
|
When `-z` option is not used, TAB, LF, and backslash characters |
|
in pathnames are represented as `\t`, `\n`, and `\\`, |
|
respectively. |
|
|
|
diff format for merges |
|
---------------------- |
|
|
|
"git-diff-tree", "git-diff-files" and "git-diff --raw" |
|
can take '-c' or '--cc' option |
|
to generate diff output also for merge commits. The output differs |
|
from the format described above in the following way: |
|
|
|
. there is a colon for each parent |
|
. there are more "src" modes and "src" sha1 |
|
. status is concatenated status characters for each parent |
|
. no optional "score" number |
|
. single path, only for "dst" |
|
|
|
Example: |
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------ |
|
::100644 100644 100644 fabadb8... cc95eb0... 4866510... MM describe.c |
|
------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
|
Note that 'combined diff' lists only files which were modified from |
|
all parents. |
|
|
|
|
|
include::diff-generate-patch.txt[] |
|
|
|
|
|
other diff formats |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
The `--summary` option describes newly added, deleted, renamed and |
|
copied files. The `--stat` option adds diffstat(1) graph to the |
|
output. These options can be combined with other options, such as |
|
`-p`, and are meant for human consumption. |
|
|
|
When showing a change that involves a rename or a copy, `--stat` output |
|
formats the pathnames compactly by combining common prefix and suffix of |
|
the pathnames. For example, a change that moves `arch/i386/Makefile` to |
|
`arch/x86/Makefile` while modifying 4 lines will be shown like this: |
|
|
|
------------------------------------ |
|
arch/{i386 => x86}/Makefile | 4 +-- |
|
------------------------------------ |
|
|
|
The `--numstat` option gives the diffstat(1) information but is designed |
|
for easier machine consumption. An entry in `--numstat` output looks |
|
like this: |
|
|
|
---------------------------------------- |
|
1 2 README |
|
3 1 arch/{i386 => x86}/Makefile |
|
---------------------------------------- |
|
|
|
That is, from left to right: |
|
|
|
. the number of added lines; |
|
. a tab; |
|
. the number of deleted lines; |
|
. a tab; |
|
. pathname (possibly with rename/copy information); |
|
. a newline. |
|
|
|
When `-z` output option is in effect, the output is formatted this way: |
|
|
|
---------------------------------------- |
|
1 2 README NUL |
|
3 1 NUL arch/i386/Makefile NUL arch/x86/Makefile NUL |
|
---------------------------------------- |
|
|
|
That is: |
|
|
|
. the number of added lines; |
|
. a tab; |
|
. the number of deleted lines; |
|
. a tab; |
|
. a NUL (only exists if renamed/copied); |
|
. pathname in preimage; |
|
. a NUL (only exists if renamed/copied); |
|
. pathname in postimage (only exists if renamed/copied); |
|
. a NUL. |
|
|
|
The extra `NUL` before the preimage path in renamed case is to allow |
|
scripts that read the output to tell if the current record being read is |
|
a single-path record or a rename/copy record without reading ahead. |
|
After reading added and deleted lines, reading up to `NUL` would yield |
|
the pathname, but if that is `NUL`, the record will show two paths.
