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.

The same as the previous one, except detect and handle

renames and complete rewrites intelligently to produce

renaming patch. A renaming patch reduces the amount of

text output, and generally makes it easier to review

it. Note that the "patch" program does not understand
|

renaming patch well, so use it only when you know the

recipient uses git to apply your patch.
